Huntington University agricultural education program approved

The Indiana State Board of Education has approved Huntington University’s agricultural education program.  The program will be part of the Haupert Institute for Agricultural Studies and will help address the shortage of agriculture teachers in the state and nationwide.

Dr. Terrell Peace, director of graduate & undergraduate teacher education says the program is the newest component of the University’s Educator Preparation Program.

The new curriculum will include courses in agribusiness and education and will also add courses in agriculture and agricultural instruction to provide academic and practical experience.  In addition to on-campus education, the program will also include hands-on vocational skills instruction through local education partnerships.

Huntington University is a small private Christian college located in northeast Indiana and began instruction in agriculture in the 2015-2016 academic year.
