ACE 291

Credit: 3 hours.

Current policy issues affecting agriculture and the legislative and rulemaking process that determines those policies will be studied. A trip to Washington, DC during spring break will give the students an opportunity to interact with legislators, federal agencies, organization leaders and representatives of the national and international agricultural policy community to better understand the policy making process and the issues moving through it. Student participation will focus on developing leadership skills and having an opportunity to meet with leaders who are actively engaged in creating and changing public policy.

Additional fees may apply. See Class Schedule. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing required or the approval of the instructor.
