Agriculture: Agricultural Science - Professional Education Concentration (1113), B.S. Ag.

Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (B.S.Ag.) - Major in General Agriculture

This agricultural science professional education concentration is offered in cooperation with the College of Education, Health, and Behavioral Sciences and graduates meet certification requirements to teach middle and/or high school agricultural education courses in Tennessee public and private schools. The concentration is designed especially to prepare students as professional agricultural educators in school-based agricultural education and extension programs. Graduates are prepared to assume leadership roles in other segments of the agricultural industry related to public relations, sales, communication, manufacturing, and government service. It is possible to obtain add-on endorsements in the secondary education (7-12) areas such as biology and chemistry. Please see the Office of Educator Preparation Program in the College of Education, Health, and Behavioral Sciences’ section for admission guidelines and licensure information.

University-Wide General Education Courses	38 hours
Required Concentration-Specific Courses	78 hours
Upper Division Electives	4-6 hours
TOTAL	120 hours
