    This program prepares students to successfully work toward teacher certification, resulting in the ability to teach Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) classes in a secondary school setting. The Agricultural Education curriculum includes a combination of courses in scientific agriculture and professional education that will meet requirements for employment and advanced study in careers emphasizing formal and informal programs of education. A student following this curriculum must meet the requirements of admission to the teacher education program as determined by the State of Texas. Enrollment in this program requires a passing score on the TExES 272 AFNR content exam and a full semester performing an off-campus professional teaching internship in a secondary classroom in order to graduate. After successful completion of the professional teaching semester, a student may be eligible to enter public schools as a teacher of AFNR certified by the Texas Education Agency.
