To meet the needs of the community and students of western Nebraska, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Western Nebraska Community College signed a 2+2 agreement, which will aid students in obtaining a bachelor’s degree in agricultural education and skilled and technical science education.
The program helps students from the Panhandle of Nebraska take two years of the program at WNCC, closer to home, and then transfer to UNL for three semesters. The final semester would be student teaching, where students could return to the Panhandle.
UNL is the only institution in the state to offer both agricultural education and skilled and technical services education.
Students interested in the program can start signing up for next semester by contacting WNCC at https://www.wncc.edu/admissions-aid/index or by emailing [email protected].
