This program qualifies the individual for certification by the State Department of Public Instruction as a comprehensive agricultural education instructor. Some students find it desirable to major in a particular area of agricultural sciences and include agricultural education courses in their bachelor's program, while others elect to double major.

A degree in agricultural education qualifies the graduate to serve as a teacher of agricultural education in public or private secondary schools, as an instructor of adult classes in agriculture, or as an educational leader with state or federal agencies or private businesses. Other opportunities can be found in educational administrative positions, production agriculture, the Cooperative Extension Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and various leadership positions in agricultural organizations and agencies. Those who continue agricultural education studies through graduate school may go into college teaching, research, or government.

The curriculum in agricultural education is arranged individually with the liaison professor in agricultural education. Selected information in the section of this catalog on the College of Human Resources, Education and Public Policy may be helpful to the agricultural education major.
