Agricultural Education
The Agricultural Studies Program's agricultural education program prepares students for licensure in secondary or middle school settings (5-12). Huntington University is one of only two higher education institutions in Indiana that offer four-year degrees in agriculture.
Although there are more than 150 high schools in Indiana offering agriculture, there is a shortage of agricultural instructors in the state and nationwide. As such, HU is uniquely positioned to train future agriculture teachers from a faith-based perspective in a small-college environment.
The agricultural education program includes courses already offered in agribusiness and education, while adding new courses in agriculture and agricultural instruction that provide the breadth of academic and practical experience needed. In addition to on-campus education, instruction includes hands-on vocational skills instruction through local education partnerships and field experience in agriculture through internships. The agricultural education program is the newest component of HU’s well-respected Educator Preparation Program. The HU education program has been continuously accredited by CAEP/NCATE for 22 years.
