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).
