Abstract:

Curricular reform is an ongoing process in most Colleges of Agriculture. In any given year, numerous individual faculty, departments, and college committees engage in curricular reform efforts; however, significant curricular reform at the college level occurs much less frequently (often only once a decade at best). Such curricular reform efforts typically occur as a result of a change in administration, budgetary cutbacks, or because of externally induced pressures from university administration, state legislatures, or boards of regents. When these efforts do occur, it is essential that they break out of the mold of elaboration of what exsists into the realm of innovation and strategic thinking.
