Abstract
The potential value of formally integrating entrepreneurial principles and practices into agricultural leadership programs at the collegiate level is conceptually explored. The compatibility of agricultural leadership and entrepreneurship education is demonstrated through the identification of shared learning objectives and a common reliance on experiential learning models. Furthermore, the observations and arguments made throughout the paper are consistently aligned with the agricultural leadership and general leadership education literatures. An interdisciplinary collegiate entrepreneurship education program that is designed to provide students with an enhanced capacity to act as change agents illustrates the relevancy and applicability of entrepreneurship to agricultural leadership. This experiential-based program is fully outlined to provide agricultural leadership instructors with a model for integrating entrepreneurial principles and practices into existing curricula.
