Abstract
In a national first, tertiary-level
education standards for agriculture
have been developed to help universities
design and deliver programs
that meet agreed standards,
attract more students and
produce skilled graduates.
Led by the University of
Tasmania, the standards were
developed through a nationwide
consultation with industry, graduates,
and academics as part of the
federal government-funded
Agriculture Learning and Teaching
Academic Standards (AgLTAS) project.
Project leader and University of
Tasmania undergraduate degree
coordinator for agriculture, Dr Tina
Acuna, said the national agriculture
education standards define the
nature and extent of agriculture
and also outline the key threshold
learning outcomes for graduates –
representing what a student
should know, understand and be
able to do upon graduation.
