UW Farm Short Course to Hold Preview Days
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 11/08/2011
The University of Wisconsin-Madison's Farm and Industry Short Course is inviting prospective students and their parents to campus on November 30 and December 1 to preview what the program has to offer. High school juniors and seniors are encouraged to attend.
The UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Sciences offers the one- or two-year short course program to high school graduates interested in farming or one of Wisconsin's many other agricultural industries. The program runs from November to April and has an average enrollment of 135 students.
The preview days will give visitors a chance to tour the campus and attend classes in livestock housing, introductory soil science, farm machinery and dairy herd management.
"Preview Days allow potential students to get a feel for the experience they can expect if they attend Short Course," says Short Course Director Ted Halbach. "There's no better way to find out for yourself than by visiting campus."
Prospective students can talk to short course staff, current students, house fellows and alumni. They can also tour the Short Course Dormitories and learn about the many scholarship opportunities available and the types of careers that short course can lead to.
There is no cost for the Preview Days, but pre-registration by November 22 is recommended. To register or for more information, call 608-263-3918.
