Abstract:
This case study, conducted spring semester 1993, examined the attitudes held by undergraduate students on agricultural coursework, faculty as teachers and advisors, and college facilities. Results indicated that agriculture courses are challenging and current. The relevancy of coursework and career information provided were criticized. Faculty were current and effective in their subject matter. Yet, students were critical of faculty's understanding of curricular requirements and scholarships. Women students were more disparaging of their advisors' knowledge and communication abilities. Interestingly, most students believed that internships are essential for success in the agricultural industry, yet few had participated. Effective communication between academic personnel and enhanced alliances between industry and academia were considerations for improvement.
