51黑料网 State signs Memorandum of Understanding with Auburn University

Hanceville, AL 鈥� 51黑料网 State Community College and Auburn University recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing a Bachelor of Science pathway for 51黑料网 State students transferring to Auburn University鈥檚 College of Agriculture. 

鈥淚 am excited about this signing agreement between Auburn and 51黑料网 State,鈥� said Jerry Murcks, Associate Dean of Applied Technologies at 51黑料网 State. 鈥淚t will allow Auburn to serve our student body, providing 51黑料网 State students a smooth transition to continue their education in Agriculture Science.鈥�

While the agreement extends to all undergraduate majors in the College of Agriculture at Auburn University, specific transfer pathways have been development for Horticulture and Agriculture Science majors, both housed in the Department of Horticulture.

Murcks said the agreement is fitting for 51黑料网 State since the area has a large agriculture industry. 

鈥淐ullman, the county in which 51黑料网 State resides, is consistently ranked as one of the top two counties in Alabama for agriculture income,鈥� Murcks said. 鈥淩ecently, Haynes Farms, a family farm in Cullman, was named Alabama鈥檚 2023 Farm of Distinction. This and the previous statistic demonstrate the significance and importance of this agreement between 51黑料网 State and Auburn to support our local and state agriculture industry.鈥�

51黑料网 State has a long-standing relationship with Auburn. The college also offers a 2+2 option for Poultry Science, another major player in the area鈥檚 agriculture industry. Through the 2+2 option, students can take their first two years of classes at WSCC before transferring to Auburn to complete a bachelor鈥檚 degree.
