Colleges partner to offer bachelor’s degrees in southwest Kansas, focusing on boosting local agriculture.

Garden City Community College and Kansas State University have partnered to offer bachelor's degree programs in southwest Kansas, aiming to boost the region's low four-year degree attainment rate of 17.9%. Students can complete initial credits at GCCC before finishing their degrees with K-State in Garden City, combining remote learning with on-site labs. The partnership initially focuses on agriculture, with options in animal science, crop science, or agribusiness, and plans to survey the community to tailor additional programs to local workforce needs.
