Study Abroad success earns team honor
Because of those trends, the College of Agriculture
created an international studies minor and revised its core curriculum
to include more language and international courses. These statistics
for the past decade show the impact of those changes:
- In the School of Liberal Arts, the number of courses with
an international focus completed by agriculture students increased
fourfold.
- The number of semesters of foreign language taken by agriculture
students doubled.
- The percentage of graduates who earned foreign language
credit increased from 29 percent to 45 percent.
- The number of agriculture courses with an international
focus completed by graduates increased more than eightfold.
To help further increase the number of participants, the Office of
International Programs in Agriculture has begun to offer short-term
programs overseas. Twenty-two students studied in Honduras over spring
break, and another group will have a chance to study abroad over the
winter break.
