Model Program of Study: Agricultural Geospatial Technology
A national consortium of agricultural community colleges have developed a model program of study that includes recommended courses in general education, science and math, and geospatial technologies. It is intended to apply to the broad definition of agriculture which includes production and management of food, fiber, and natural resources. The program of study is designed to be rigorous in its science, math and technology requirements, to meet the needs of the industry.
The program of study is still in the process of being developed, so input by educators and industry representatives on coursework and requirements are extremely valuable. This session will review the program of study, take questions and then invite comment and suggestions.
