Abstract:

Enrollment declines in colleges of agriculture have been a nationwide concern for the past decade. One service course in The Ohio State University Department of Horticulture has shown a 325% enrollment increase since 1982. Factors that contributed to the success of the course include an interdisciplinary approach to instruction, utilization of the highest quality instructors, and "word of mouth" advertising within the student population.
