Undergraduate (B.S.) Degree in Agricultural Education
Effective September 1, 2008 the undergraduate major in
Agricultural Education will shift its program home from the
Department of Work and Human Resource Education in the
College of Education and Human
Development (CEHD) to the
College of Food,
Agricultural, and Natural Resource Sciences (CFANS). The two
colleges have been partners in delivering the Agricultural
Education major for many years. Both colleges are committed to
continuing this partnership into the future. This change in
alignment will help simplify enrollment and student support for
the program. This change does not impact any degree requirements
in the major, only your college of enrollment.
What will happen? For students currently enrolled in CFANS
and the pre-ag education major, you will be able to continue
your enrollment in CFANS through graduation. If you are planning
to pursue one of the teacher licensure specializations you will
eventually need to apply to the upper division to ensure that
you have met the Minnesota state requirements/milestones for
teacher licensure. Your faculty adviser will assist you with
that process. With this new alignment, you will continue to take
courses from both colleges. CFANS, along with the faculty in
Agricultural Education/WHRE will provide academic advising and
degree clearance. CEHD will continue to offer professional
education coursework and will assist you with your licensure
processing for your educator’s license.
For students currently enrolled in CEHD in the upper division
Agricultural Education major your enrollment will be moved to
CFANS effective with the beginning of fall semester 2008. For
students switching to CFANS, advisers in CFANS, along with the
faculty in Agricultural Education/WHRE will provide academic
advising support. Anyone staying in CEHD will continue working
with their current adviser. This change has no effect on
agricultural education students enrolled at the University of
Minnesota, Crookston.
