description	The study was conducted to determine educational plans of minority student participants in a university food and agricultural science recruitment program during a two-year period. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire. The subjects were comprised of 36 minority high school juniors and seniors identified as academically talented who were selected to participate in an eight-week experimental program in the food and agricultural sciences at the University. Results suggest that a majority of student participants chose the discipline areas of agriculture, home economics and health as their first choice of a college major and career. A majority were very sure about their choices. Personal and situational factors were important in students' choices. A majority felt moderately strong about career situations in agriculture.
