Ringkasan program

This program is designed for students who want a broad education in agriculture to prepare for careers that require knowledge of food systems and natural resources, such as production and marketing of foods and ornamental plants; and careers in agricultural education in secondary schools, cooperative extension, and crop consulting. Students in the program develop a curriculum that best fits their individual needs. Cornell is one of the world leaders in international agriculture and rural development. As an agricultural science major, participation in at least one class focusing on international agriculture is required. Students will have boundless opportunities to earn credit for their participation in structured study tours to places like Mexico, India and the Philippines to learn about agriculture outside of the U.S. Many students also arrange for their required internship to be based internationally at a farm or organization. This program prepares students to communicate and teach effectively in the field of agriculture. Students will be exposed to a range of educational topics such as working with youth organizations, educational psychology, adult education, communication, and the art of teaching. Students interested in this concentration may go on to teach in secondary education, work in extension, farm policy, or pursue interests in social activism and issues surrounding food policy and education.
