The Impact of General Studies on the Agricultural Economics Curriculum

David L. Armstrong and Walter J. Wills

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1964, vol. 46, issue 3, 540-546

Abstract: Curriculum committees in agricultural economics have continuously faced the problem of balance between their major field and general education. The unanswered question is what would be the impact on agricultural economics when a formalized general education program either voluntarily or involuntarily becomes part of the university system? This article focuses attention on some probable adjustments, such as: reducing the hours required in agriculture, reducing the hours of free electives, reducing the number of agricultural course offerings the first two years, and requiring more basic prerequisites taught outside agriculture.
