Work and human resource education
The comprehensive work and human resource education program is an
individualized program that is used by students whose professional roles are
enhanced by completion of coursework selected from adult
education;
agricultural, food, and environmental education; business and industry
education; and human resource
development. This field of study attracts
teachers, coordinators, supervisors, trainers, youth workers, community-based educators, extension educators, and others. Formerly know as vocational/technical (or vo-tech)
education, it is part of a program that is ranked third in the nation (U.S. News and World
Report).
Students combine study and related experiences to develop, apply,
analyze, synthesize, and evaluate the practices and problems of education
within these contexts; to asses the social, technological, cultural, and
psychological issues of this field; and to contribute to the research in the
field. The degree work is designed by the student and his or her adviser.
