Service Plays
Big Farm Role
Agriculture as you are all well
aware is Nebraska's principal in
dustry. That fact makes the Uni
versity's superior Ag college not
only stronger but, in a way, lar
ger.
Through its Extension service,
the college reaches directly not
only students, attending school in
Lincoln, but agriculturally mind
ed people all over the state. Ex
periment stations, operated by the
College of Agriculture, are located
near Union, Scottsbluff, North
Platte, Alliance and Valentine.
Research work done at these sta
tions is beneficial to Nebraska
farmers, and because we depend
upon our farms for our prosper
ity, to all Nebraskans.
Both Libraries Useful.
On campus, a 40,000 volume li
brary, plus departmental libraries
for entomology and animal pa
thology are available to Ag stu
dents. And, of course, they are
entitled to the 400,000 volumes
shelved in the city campus library.
The college grants a bachelor's
degree in agriculture upon com
pletion of 128 credit hours, or in
home ec upon completion of 125
credit hours. Associate degrees
are awarded through the Junior
division for 64 credit hours of
work. Graduates who complete
the vocational education require
ments and earn at least 15 hours
or more of college credit hours in
one or more academic fields are
recommended for initial second
ary school certificates, valid for
five years in any school in the
state.
