Southeast is committed to combining traditional classroom learning with actual real-world experience in order to make our students more marketable upon graduation.  The internships, undergraduate research and laboratory classes within the Department of Agriculture are excellent examples of the combination of classroom theory and practical experience. 

Recent agribusiness interns have been placed with prominent companies, such as Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Asgrow Seed Company, BASF Corporation, Growmark Inc., Monsanto, and Missouri Botanical Garden. 

Undergraduate research experiences allow students to “learn-by-doing,” the methods that agricultural scientists use to discover new knowledge and technology.  Recent undergraduate researchers have presented their findings at the Missouri Academy of Sciences and other professional venues.

Experiential learning also takes place in laboratory classes through work experience on campus, at the David M. Barton Agriculture Research Center, in the Charles L. Hutson Horticulture Greenhouse facility and at the Rice Research Station.
