Students should research agricultural schools to which they wish to transfer at the junior level so that application materials can be completed in advance of deadlines. The preagriculture students should confer with their advisor to select electives based on the following criteria: • The requirements of the school to which they will transfer after leaving Cedarville University • The specific agricultural program they wish to enter Course requirements include core requirements and an emphasis in either agriculture business or agriculture science.
