Note: An undergraduate certification in agriculture teaching will not be available after the spring 2014 semester. Cornell is working with its neighbors at Ithaca College to establish a masters-level certification program in agriculture education. In addition, Cornell's undergraduate Education Minor will continue to offer strong preparation for graduate-level certification programs in agriculture education throughout the country. |

Backed by a world-class faculty in agricultural science and by teacher educators intensely devoted to teaching, Cornell prepares the kind of agriculture teachers who exemplify the motto:
Those who can, do. Those who can do more, teach.
Hallmarks of our program are small classes, intensive advising, and many opportunities for campus teaching experience through Cornell's extensive community outreach and teaching assistant programs. |

Teachers in New York State must complete a Masters degree within 5 years of earning initial certification. |
