Agricultural Education and Studies (AGEDS)

"The best part about being a part of a learning community is getting to meet other people that have the exact same interests as you! It is meeting people with the same passions and career goals, but with different backgrounds, outlooks, and ideas about issues and topics."  -Katrina

All incoming students in the Agricultural Studies, Agricultural Education, and Agricultural Communications curriculums are involved in the AGEDS Learning Community.

Students will take a common set of classes and will be involved in various educational and social activities. Additionally, faculty, staff, and peer mentors will be involved to encourage the academic, social, and career development of participants. The AGEDS 1100 course will be the hub of learning community activities. Students will be split into groups of 15-20, with each group being assigned a peer mentor which is a returning student from the Department of Agricultural Education and Studies.

Optional – Larch Hall

Students will be automatically enrolled in the learning community. Additional information will be provided during orientation.
To sign up for a residential learning community, simply select your learning community preference when filling out your Department of Residence contract in the Housing portal. You can go in and update or change your learning community preference information at any time up until the deadline without losing your “priority date.”
