Bachelor of Science, Major in Interdisciplinary Agriculture with Teaching Certification
Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) Teacher Certification
The primary emphasis of the teacher certification program is the preparation of secondary teachers of Agricultural, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR). Students gain a broad background in the agricultural sciences along with professional preparation courses in agricultural and secondary pedagogy. This comprehensive background prepares students for a wide variety of professional agricultural careers.
The teacher certification option can be chosen with any of the agricultural emphasis majors as shown. Students majoring in interdisciplinary agriculture, agricultural business, animal science, agricultural engineering technology, or horticulture and crop sciences who are seeking AFNR teacher certification should select CISE as their minor.
All students seeking teacher certification must be advised each semester to ensure proper sequencing of classes.
