If you love agriculture, enjoy working with plants and animals, and relish the opportunity to teach people about the importance of agriculture, then Agricultural Science Education is the career for you. Agriscience teachers get to work with young people to help them develop interests in agriculture. They often become local and state leaders, advocating for agriculture and farmers in their communities. The Agricultural Science Education program at Rutgers University is a cooperative effort of the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS) and the Graduate School of Education (GSE). It is designed to prepare students to teach agriculture and related subjects in high school. After completing the program you will be able to deliver agricultural instruction in the classroom and laboratory. You will be able to offer rich experiential learning experiences outside the classroom in the field, in greenhouses, and in animal facilities. You will be able to provide leadership education, partnering with national and state student organizations like the FFA. And you will emerge as leaders in your own right, playing a key role in educating the public about the importance of agriculture.
