College
of Agriculture - Core Requirements
October 9, 2008
Multicultural
Awareness (3) credits
All
undergraduate plans of study leading to the degree of Bachelor
of Science, Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biological
Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Forestry, or Bachelor
of Science in Landscape Architecture must include a minimum
of three credits of multicultural awareness electives.
Students
must broaden their awareness of the United States domestic,
multicultural environment. The objective of the multicultural
awareness component of the core curriculum is to stimulate
students to become aware of self and others to be better prepared
for the workplace and participatory citizenship.
This
requirement may be fulfilled through:
(3) AGR 201 (Communicating Across
Culture) . The AGR 201 course coordinator and lead instructor
will be the Assistant Dean and Director of the College of
Agriculture Office of Diversity Programs. The course coordinator
is responsible for validating the competency of faculty members
responsible for laboratory sections. AGR 201 credits may be
used to fulfill written and oral communication, social science
and humanities, or departmental requirements. [Note AGR
201 is projected to be offered for the first time in the 2007
Spring Semester.]
Selection from the multicultural electives course
list. All courses must go through a validation process to
be added to the list. Courses that include multicultural awareness
components developed by College of Agriculture departments
will follow this process.
(0) AGR 496 ( Multicultural Professional
Experience). Successful completion of an approved non-credit
multicultural awareness work experience (AGR 496) of a minimum
of 4 weeks duration may be used in lieu of three credits of
multicultural awareness electives to fulfill the multicultural
awareness requirement. The Assistant Dean for Diversity will
be the instructor of record for AGR 496. Course proposals
that address the learning objectives of the experience and
define how the culture in which the immersion will take place
is different from their native culture will be evaluated for
approval by the Assistant Dean for Diversity. Approval is
required as a condition for registration.
Multicultural
Awareness Electives
Additional
courses may be added to this list via approval by the Agricultural
Faculty Curriculum and Student Relations Committee of the
course syllabus, to determine that it meets the objective
of the multicultural requirement in the College of Agriculture
. The objective of the multicultural awareness component
of the core curriculum is to stimulate students to become
aware of self and others to be better prepared for the workplace
and participatory citizenship. Students are encouraged to
explore coursework outside their own culture.
