ماذا سوف أتعلم؟

The Department of Agricultural, Leadership, and Community Education (ALCE) is nationally recognized as a comprehensive program encompassing teaching and learning, extension, community development and education and leadership in agriculture. We are social scientists practicing in the context of agriculture and life science. Our research, teaching, and extension programs enhance and strengthen the people engaged in agriculture life sciences.

Graduate studies in ALCE are grounded in our programmatic research in problem solving, leadership development, critical thinking, program development and evaluation, secondary education, non-formal education, and professional development. These research areas form our concentration areas of teaching and learning, leadership & social change and community education and development.

The Ph.D. in Life Sciences with an emphasis in Agricultural Education (PHD) is intended for students who desire to be faculty in universities delivering comprehensive programs in agricultural, leadership, and community education. Our program focus allows us to deliver a customized program for students preparing for the Professoriate. Courses, experiences, and research are all focused on providing a solid foundation for future faculty who will be initially competitive and highly productive throughout their career.

Our Ph.D. program provides a solid background in research and students are expected to produce unique discoveries in teaching and learning, community education and development, and leadership & social change. Students are expected to publish and present in the program as well as assist in securing funded projects.

Faculty members work with students to meet individual educational goals. Our faculty are known for strong advisement and personal attention for each student. Students are provided with opportunities to teach in formal classrooms and non-formal settings, conduct meaningful research, and deliver outreach programs.

The degree requires a comprehensive examination to enter Ph.D. candidacy. The comprehensive exam and oral defense is an opportunity for a student to showcase their abilities in the areas of integrating and synthesizing information relevant to their program. Advisor and committee member roles at this stage include 1) providing support and encouragement, 2) providing collegial and constructive dialogue, 3) creating an environment where ideas are shared in a professional environment free of condescension, derision and hostility, 4) providing feedback in a timely manner and 5) completing their tasks with all relevant signatures or other paperwork.
