Utilizing multilevel capstone courses in an integrated agribusiness curriculum
1996
Collins, R.J. | Dunne, A.J.
Effective agribusiness curricula must reflect and respond to employers' needs and be constructed within a sound educational paradigm. The effectiveness of agribusiness courses is often reduced by traditional institutional constraints on content that inhibit integration. We overcome these problems using a multilevel capstone course approach. Placed in the first, second, and third years of a spiral curriculum, these courses integrate smaller bundles of knowledge, building learning bundle, by bundle. This approach contrasts with the single end of program capstone experience. The close involvement of agribusiness firms in our approach provides them with advantages of liaison with an academic institution, identification of high quality future employees, and access to value for money market research.
