Ringkasan program

This program is to provide a major that allows students to study leadership, communication, and the applied sciences of agriculture. Within the major are elective areas for agriculture courses and what they call an emphasis area. The emphasis area is like a minor and is a combination of courses, chosen by the student and academic adviser that provide concentrated study in a particular area. Additionally, in the major, several business classes are required as well as courses in agricultural leadership, education, and communications. agricultural leadership, education, and communications courses include leadership theory, models of the change process, methods of teaching adults, multiculturalism in agriculture, and program planning in extension. Students may participate in an internship. A majority of the ALED students complete an internship. This component is diverse due to the nature of the students as they select their internship based in their career goals. The sites are approved by the department and students may be paid or unpaid. The assignments that students complete are to analyze the organization from a leadership and human relations point of view. In other words, the goal for the internship is to allow students to gain some technical expertise and to provide a forum for students to apply their knowledge in leadership and communications to a real-time experience. ALED provides students with technical, conceptual, and human relations skills that employers continually tell us they are seeking. To date, students who actively seek employment are finding placement in many highly profitable areas.
