Many students majoring in agricultural education at UWP have a farm background and were enrolled in vocational agriculture while in high school. Students who do not have a farm background may gain such experience through the School of Agriculture summer internship program. The same can be said for the student from the farm who seeks employment experience with an agricultural agency or firm. The Collegiate FFA provides leadership opportunities for students in agricultural education as well as other students in the School of Agriculture. The collegiate chapter is similar to the high school FFA chapters with the exception of the contest areas.
Members participate at local as well as national events.
Several other organizations are available for students with specific interests such as dairy, livestock, crops and mechanics. Students are individually advised with regard to courses and credits. Credit transfer is handled as a normal procedure. For More Information High school teachers of vocational agriculture are the most available and qualified persons to answer your questions.
