Program Outcomes
Program outcomes are overarching skills that are emphasized and reinforced throughout several courses in a specific program; they are measurable statements that define what students should know or be able to do by the end of a certificate or degree at Clark College. After successful completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate an understanding of the connections between the natural and managed landscape.
- Demonstrate how agriculture, ecology, and equity intersect and interact, and how changes to any one impacts the others, using foundation principles of systems.
- Draft and implement an agroecology system plan and demonstrate an understanding of the outcomes and evaluate to determine future actions (next steps) that need to be taken.
- Communicate effectively, accurately and professionally, using verbal, non-verbal, and written language with diverse populations of potential customers, employees, colleagues, the public, and other organizations and agencies about agroecology concepts, strategies and applications.
- Recognize the diversity of opportunities within agroecology and identify their own niche where their interests and skills converge. (the special project will be used as assessment).
