Description
Summary:Provision of meaningful professional credentials to Poultry Science graduates requires the sharing of expertise among a number of departments. Increased access to specialized poultry courses will assist in assuring that all graduates have excellent technical credentials. Greater access could be brought about through distance learning materials developed on a regional basis. Professional credentials will protect the marketability of our graduates in a changing industry and provide them a starting point for continued professional development. All departments, large and small, can claim an essential niche in the instruction and examination process. Another benefit is that to maintain their professional status, graduates would periodically participate in seminars and short courses and be encouraged to maintain active memberships in associations such as the Poultry Science Association
