Program Description
Agricultural Science Education trains you to teach agriculture in schools and communities. You will study crop production, animal husbandry, soil science, agricultural extension, classroom teaching methods, curriculum design, and assessment. The program combines practical farm work with teaching practice so you learn both agriculture and how to share that knowledge with others. Graduates can become school teachers, educational administrators, curriculum developers, special education teachers with an agricultural focus, or educational consultants supporting schools and community projects. This program is a great choice if you enjoy hands-on learning, want to support food security in Ghana, and wish to inspire the next generation of farmers and agri-entrepreneurs.
