Additional Information From NC State University:

The BAET curriculum is administered by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and is intended to uniquely prepare students for hands-on application of technology to efficiently manage agricultural and environmental systems. Flexibility within the program allows students to attain depth in science, business, or environmental areas. Graduates provide a critical link in the agricultural and environmental spectrum by interacting directly with both production personnel as well as the designers and implementers of technological systems. This major offers a standalone degree and two concentrations: Agricultural Systems Management and Environmental Systems Management. Please visit the program website for more information. 

Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
