Mission
The Agriculture Pathways Partnership is a collaborative effort between Missouri State University, Crowder College, Missouri State University-West Plains, Northeast Oklahoma A&M and Redlands Community College. These schools have formed a higher education cluster to offer a baccalaureate degree completion program through which students may obtain a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) in Agriculture degree.
Delivery
Upper division agriculture courses administered by Missouri State University-Springfield are offered via an alternative distance education delivery system culminating in a B.A.S. degree in Agriculture. Methods of delivery include but are not limited to; Internet, Interactive Television (ITV) Intense Weekend Classes, and Video. Additional degree programs may be available, visit with the Missouri State Unversity Agriculture Department for details.
Degree Requirements
Students enrolled at Missouri State University, Crowder College, Missouri State University-West Plains, Northeast Oklahoma A&M and Redlands Community College will be able to remain on their campus and earn a B.A.S. degree from Missouri State University. Students who intend to administratively transfer to Missouri State University-Springfield with an Associates of Arts, Associates of Applied Sciences or Associates of Science degree will have access to upper division courses via distance education without physically transferring locations.
Getting Started
Becoming involved in the Agriculture Pathways Program is simple. The Agriculture Pathways Partnership Application Form is a simple form to ensure we have the appropriate information for each student. The purpose of the Pathways To-Do Checklist is to provide step by step instructions along with links to various sites within Missouri State University where all details are addressed, including Registration and Financial Aid. A timeline is instrumental in planning for the future, we've made that simple with the Sample Schedule tool. As a student of the Pathways Program, you may need to be duelly-enrolled at both your 2 year institution and Missouri State University. The Consortium Agreement allows the government to recognize that you are a full-time student between the two different educational institutions when applying for federal funds. The Pathways Partnership offers many different delivery methods of course instruction including workshops. A quick and easy way to identify the courses offered at your location or via internet is to use the "Find A Class" tool and change the location and/or delivery method pull-down menus. The Course Enrollment Form is sometimes necessary in order to enroll for credit before you have officially been admitted to Missouri State University.
These additional forms are to ensure a smooth transition to ultimately earn a B.A.S. degree from Missouri State University!
