Agricultural Education

About

Make a difference in your world - be a teacher! Prepare for a profession where you impact young people every day.

Agricultural education students combine their interest in animals, plants, natural resources, and food with their desire to work with people. Students are prepared to teach the wide range of agricultural subjects in middle school, high school, or college settings. There is a high demand for agriculture teachers in Indiana and across the United States. Graduates also are highly sought after for positions in business, government and other professions that demand professionals who can communicate and work with people.

Entry Requirements

For most first-time college students (future freshman) a complete application includes:

The application itself
Purdue-specific questions from the application
Self-reported high school grades
Self-reported ACT or SAT test scores*
Proof of English proficiency (for citizens of non-English speaking countries)
The application fee (or qualified fee waiver)

Students apply to Purdue using the Common Application. This application requires you to provide a personal essay and answer Purdue-specific questions. View current essay questions.

We accept SAT or ACT scores and have no preference on which test is taken. You may report the best scores from across different tests. If able, you should take one or the other in the spring of your junior year in preparation for the November 1 Early Action deadline that encompasses scholarship consideration.

When you apply, you are able to report best components from different test dates. School codes for Purdue West Lafayette: ACT – 1230; SAT – 1631.

*For Spring, Summer, and Fall 2023, Purdue is test flexible. This means that if a student can take an SAT or ACT, we prefer they do so. However, we recognize that possible cancellations and postponement of national standardized tests due to pandemic restrictions may be impacting students’ applications. With that in mind, we will move forward and review any application from a student who is unable to take a standardized test.

Looking ahead: In 2024, Purdue will return to requiring the SAT or ACT test score(s) for admission consideration.

Career

Graduates teach agriculture in junior high schools, high schools, and colleges; work as extension agents for the state and federal government; or fill a wide variety of posts in agribusiness and industry.
