Agricultural Education graduates are in high
demand as teachers of agriculture and the related sciences
in the nation's schools. For several decades, there has been
a shortage of teachers of agriculture. As programs expand
and new programs are added, this trend will continue.
When students decide to study in this area,
they enter one of the most unique professional teacher education
programs in the nation. Leading the way in professional teacher
training, our curriculum will earn students with a Bachelor
of Science degree in the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural,
Food and Life Sciences.
The Agricultural Education program includes
study in the agricultural sciences and technologies as well
as professional study in educational pedagogy. In addition
to coursework, students will participate in field-based internships
in agricultural education. They will also participate in leadership
experiences through the department's first-in-the-nation combined
Collegiate FFA/4-H Club.
