Thus, students have an opportunity to observe proper application of new concepts and information, technology, and principles of management to real-life situations. Agriculture faculty will provide advice and counsel as requested by students or their academic advisors to assist in selecting courses which are appropriate to each student's goals and objectives. Two hours from courses designated as Natural Resources Management 301 and 302 may be applied toward the upper-division Park and Recreation Administration requirements. Agriculture and Natural Resources Management students wishing to complete an optional minor in a second degree area are invited to do so. All requirements for the minor as set forth by the granting department must be met.
Minors are available through a number of different departments on campus.
The Martin Agricultural Experiment Station, located adjacent to the campus, is utilized as the laboratory farm in the department's teaching programs. It comprises 680 acres and includes herds of beef cattle and swine as well as field and forage crop areas. These facilities are used by faculty and students to conduct research which complements the teaching program as well as contributes to the broad objectives of the UT Agricultural Experiment Station. The organization outlined above enables students to become familiar with research conducted at the Martin Agricultural Experiment Station, other experiment stations of the UT Institute of Agriculture, and other laboratories of the University. UT Martin in this way occupies a unique position which differentiates it from other institutions.
