Written by Robin Clements<\/em><\/p>\n

CALS is proud to boast a unique alternative pathway to students denied traditional freshman admission: PackTrac.<\/p>\n

Developed in 2016, PackTrac provides guaranteed admission to students with an interest in under-represented CALS majors \u2013 and that admission could come after just one year at a North Carolina community college, unless the student prefers the traditional two year transfer plan.<\/p>\n

Presently, PackTrac has formal agreements with Beaufort Community College and Fayetteville Technical Community College. Nine other institutions are nearing agreements or have expressed interest in this venture. For the 2017-2018 academic year, 12 students registered to participate in PackTrac with hopes of gaining admission to CALS for Fall 2018. Tricia Buddin, PackTrac coordinator, has goals for increased growth and program placement across the state in the coming years!<\/p>\n

PackTrac is committed to deliberate and extensive advising from a student\u2019s community college advisor and departmental representative in CALS. Successful PackTrac students admitted to the PackTrac program are able to meet all transfer requirements and complete one year of courses applicable to their future NC State degree, leaving three remaining years once the participant arrives at NC State.<\/p>\n

Participating majors include:
\n\u2022 Agricultural Business Management
\n\u2022 Agricultural Education
\n\u2022 Agricultural & Environmental Technology
\n\u2022 Agricultural Science
\n\u2022 Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems
\n\u2022 Animal Science \u2013 production ONLY
\n\u2022 Extension Education
\n\u2022 Horticultural Science
\n\u2022 Plant Biology
\n\u2022 Plant & Soil Sciences
\n\u2022 Poultry Science
\n\u2022 Soil & Land Development
\n\u2022 Turfgrass Science<\/p>\n
