Course description:

In this program, students can choose coursework from four general areas: Animal Science, Plant and Soil Science, Agricultural Systems, and Agricultural Economics. Then they may select coursework throughout the College of Agriculture and Life Science such as additional coursework in the above areas or Wildlife, Range and Ecology, etc. These technical agriculture courses are then paired with courses that prepare students to work with diverse student environments in an agricultural setting. Courses include Educational Psychology, Special Populations, Educational Technologies, Instructional Design, and Program Planning in Agricultural Science. The highlight of the degree is student teaching and this full-semester experience occurs the semester of graduation. Student teaching allows students to gain practical experience in scientific agriculture, professional education, and classroom management. The first phase of student teaching occurs on campus for four weeks during which students prepare lessons and activities to be used in the second phase. The second phase consists of actually teaching at an assigned student teaching center for eleven weeks under the supervision of both an outstanding agricultural science teacher and a faculty member in the Department of Agricultural Education.
