Hi Educators, Administrators, Counselors, Colleagues, and Stakeholders:
We are pleased to announce that Agricultural Sciences courses may now be counted towards the requirement for three years of sciences in order to gain admission to an Illinois public university or college which took effect January 1, 2022.
These universities already have the new wording of Agricultural Science courses added:
WIU - http://www.wiu.edu/student_success/undergraduate_admissions/prospective/
Senate Bill 1624
Amends various Acts relating to the governance of public universities in Illinois. With respect to the high school coursework that a person must satisfactorily complete for university admission, adds agricultural sciences as a course option for the science category and agricultural education as a course option for the electives category.

(b) NoIn addition, commencing in the fall of 1993, no new |
student shall then or thereafter be admitted to instruction in |
any of the departments or colleges of the University unless |

the following 5 categories: |
