A new
Associate’s Degree and 2+2
Articulation Agreement with
Clemson University will provide
students in Piedmont Technical College’s
Horticulture Program a more seamless
transition to four-year degrees.
Seated,
from left, are
Dr. Ted Whitwell, professor and
chair of
Clemson’s department of Horticulture;
Dr. Bud Marchant, vice president for Educational
Affairs and chief educational officer at PTC;
and Marion Bledsoe, horticulture program
coordinator at PTC. Standing, from left, are
Gavin Berry and Joel Wash, both former
horticulture students at PTC who chose to
continue their education at Clemson.
The Associate Degree in Agriculture with
a Horticulture and/or Turfgrass Transfer
Option emphasis is designed for the
student seeking the acceptance into
Clemson University’s Bachelor Degree
Program in Horticulture and/or
Turfgrass programs. This degree
path will allow the graduating Piedmont
Technical College student eligibility
for acceptance into Clemson’s
Horticulture or Turfgrass programs with
Junior status. Completion of the
Bachelor’s Degree with two additional
years of study at Clemson University is
possible. This path allows the
motivated student to take advantage of a
two plus two arrangement between
Piedmont Technical College and Clemson
University. This Associates Degree
alone does not guarantee student’s
admission to Clemson University’s
Horticulture or Turfgrass programs. This
alignment satisfies 62 Clemson credit
hours toward the 120 credit hour B.S.
