International Ag Program Offered Online

International Ag Program Offered Online Interested in international agriculture? Huntington University offers an online program that can count toward the university’s MBA or be taken as a stand-alone certificate. Areas of study include international agricultural systems, global poverty issues and alleviation strategies, agricultural training and development processes, and an overview of international agricultural companies and organizations. “About two-thirds of our students in the program are from Huntington, simply due to general awareness of it,” says Nate Perry, Huntington University. “Students can join from anywhere. They don’t have to be from the area or in the same time zone. There are check-ins with the instructor physically on campus, but they can also be done virtually.” Participants in the course don’t have to be enrolled at the university. Perry notes that they may not have any post-high school education, but may be working on an international project where certification could be beneficial. “Some participants may be in an MBA or other graduate degree program,” says Perry. “Huntington is a Christian college, but enrollment is not limited to Christians. The four 3-credit classes will have some integration of faith and learning; however, they don’t discuss religion. They look at international agriculture from a non-governmental organization perspective.” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Huntington University, 2303 College Ave., Huntington, Ind. 46750 (ph 260-356-6000; www.huntington.edu).
