AGSC 3050 - Foundations of Agricultural Ag & Extension Education (Also, Dual Enrollment Q99 Section) (3)

The course is designed to introduce individuals to the extracurricular programs associated with formal, informal, and nonformal programs of agricultural education. School-based program components such as the classroom, the school lab, Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) programs, FFA, and school and community relationships will guide much of the discussion in this course. Nonformal education components such as 4-H and adult models of AEE (i.e. Young Farmers) will also be studied. The subject matter will also explore the philosophical foundations and historical development of school-based and non-formal Agricultural Education in the United States as well as emerging trends.
