Supervised Agricultural Experience Program
A unique aspect of the Agricultural Science Program is the Supervised
Agricultural Experience Program (SAEP). It enables students to feed and exhibit livestock projects, develop agricultural crop or horticultural enterprises or experience the other aspects of the agricultural industry. The SAEP is a powerful tool that teaches responsibility, time management, commitment, teamwork and sound financial practices.
