Welcome to information about the
global dimension of the College of Food, Agricultural, and
Environmental Sciences. The International Programs web link
provides you with a window to international program activities
in which the college is involved and to opportunities for
you to become more involved, both in Ohio and overseas.
Communication technology and modern transportation and transport
systems have made Ohio agriculture and much of today’s
rural life global. Today our agricultural producers and other
agribusinesses must cooperate and/or compete with counterparts
around the world. Faculty and students in our College must
be aware of and prepared to address the global impacts of
major environmental issues and events.
The Office
of International Programs in Agriculture provides students,
faculty and stakeholders with opportunities to learn about
the world and the many opportunities and challenges which
face us in this context. Our goal to provide relevant information
and opportunities for learning abroad, for transnational research
and outreach, and for meaningful interaction with people of
other nations….all within the context of learning about
the world in which we live.
In accomplishing our mission we work closely with other units
in the College as well as with appropriate campus wide Offices,
including the Office of International Studies, the Office
of International Education, and relevant college-based programs,
such as the Center for International Business Education and
Research in the Fisher College of Business.
We invite you to join us by reviewing opportunities that will
help you explore the global dimensions of our world of work
and non-work.
