“We’re very proud of this agreement and the bachelor’s degree completion opportunities that it will open up for our students,” said Dr. Brenda Russell, Dean of Career Education and Workforce Development at Three Rivers College. “This agreement will make it much easier for our students to continue their education with Murray State’s excellent Agriculture programs.”
The agreement allows students who complete an Associate of Arts Degree in Agriculture at Three Rivers to transfer their college credits into one of seven agriculture bachelor’s degree programs at Murray State. This allows students to complete their Freshman and Sophomore years close to home and at a cost savings, then transfer to Murray State to complete their Junior and Senior years.
Murray State programs specified in the transfer agreement are Agriculture Education, Agricultural Systems Technology, Agriscience Technology, Agribusiness, Agronomy, Animal/Equine Science, and Horticulture.
The process of working out the articulation agreement started in 2013 with meetings between educators from Three Rivers and Murray State. Spearheading the agreement process for Three Rivers was Agriculture Instructor Joyce Rehkop.
Registration is currently open for Summer and Fall classes at Three Rivers College, including courses in the Associate of Arts in Agriculture program.
