Agriscience is a two-credit interdisciplinary course that meets the "life science requirement" for science credit.  This "two-credit" course may count as one of the three required credits in science for high school graduation.  Agriscience Interdisciplinary uses agricultural contexts to present the required life science core content for assessment, as outlined in the program of studies.  In order to receive the "science credit" for high school graduation, students must complete the course "Agriscience," to be followed by either "Advanced Plant Science" or "Advanced Animal Science."  Both of these courses (Advanced Plant Science & Advanced Animal Science) are dual-credit courses that provide college credit when all course guidelines are met.  The agriculture teacher and science teacher work together in planning and evaluating the course.
