Field Experiences provide students an opportunity for experiential learning in the setting of their choice.  There are several different opportunity within the Department of Agricultural Education and Studies for students to have these non-classroom experiences.  It is important to know that students earn academic credit by completing self assessments, developing competencies, creating presentations and other academic work in connection with their experience.  Credit is not earned simply by having a work experience.
