Partnership Aims to Promote Agriculture
April 2, 2009
The University of Guelph's Ontario Agricultural College (OAC) hopes to inform high school students about agriculture-related careers and to increase enrollment through a new agreement signed today.
The partnership with the Bluewater District School Board also aims to help smooth the path for high school students heading to degree or diploma programs in agriculture.
It will exempt high school graduates of the specialist high skills major in agriculture from introductory agriculture courses during subsequent studies at U of G, or its regional campuses in Ridgetown, Kemptville and Alfred. It will also enable students enrolled in the secondary school major to explore university experiences at Guelph or its regional campuses during Grade 11 or 12.
