About the course

The Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education (ALCE) is nationally recognized as a comprehensive program encompassing teaching and learning, extension, community development and education, and leadership in agriculture. We are social scientists practicing in the context of agriculture and life science. Our research, teaching, and extension programs enhance and strengthen the people engaged in agriculture life sciences. Graduate studies in ALCE are grounded in our programmatic research in problem solving, leadership development, critical thinking, program development and evaluation, secondary education, non-formal education, and professional development. These research areas form our concentration areas of teaching and learning, leadership and social change, and community education and development. Our departmental graduate student association provides professional and personal development opportunities through speakers, forums, and group discussion. The organization is also committed to providing social opportunities for graduate students. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
