4. Reason for this curriculum action
Perkins and other program health indicators evaluate programs on the basis of “completers”. Often
our students do take quite a few Agriculture courses but never acquire a degree as they have upgraded
their skills necessary for their jobs without doing so. A certificate of competence would reward more
students with credentials. It would also give credit to the program for students who are successful in
completing the level of training that they desire.
