COURSES
CASE 1: Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) - 178613
CASE 1: Introduction to Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources (AFNR) - 178613
The major purpose of the Introduction to AFNR course is to introduce students to the world of agriculture, the pathways they may pursue, and the science, mathematics, reading, and writing components they will use throughout the CASE curriculum. Woven throughout the course are activities to develop and improve employability skills of students through practical applications. Students will explore career and post-secondary opportunities in each area of the course.
CREDIT: 1
TYPE: ACADEMIC
GRADE: 10
CASE 2: Principles of Agricultural Science - Animal (ASA) - 178633
Student experiences will involve the study of animal anatomy, physiology, nutrition, reproduction, health, selection, and marketing. For example, students will acquire skills in meeting the nutritional needs of animals while developing balanced, economical rations. Throughout the course, students will consider the perceptions and preferences of individuals within local, regional, and world markets. Students will explore hands-on projects and activities to learn the characteristics of animal science and work on major projects and problems similar to those that animal science specialists, such as veterinarians, zoologists, livestock producers, and industry personnel, face in their respective careers.

CASE 3 (2 courses):
Required: Advanced Agricultural Sciences Specialization: Food Science and Safety (FSS) - 178643
Food Science and Safety is a specialization course in the CASE Program of Study. Student will complete hands-on activities, projects, and problems that simulate actual concepts and situations found in the food science and safety industry, allowing students to build content knowledge and technical skills. Students will investigate areas of food science including food safety, food chemistry, food processing, food product development, and marketing.
Required: Agriculture, Research, and Development - 178643
The Maryland developed Agriculture, Research, and Development (ARD) course will serve as the capstone and completer course for students that have completed three courses in any one of the four CASETM pathways: Animal Systems, Plant Systems, Natural Resources and Ecology, or Agricultural Power and Technology. Instruction and continued inquiry-based projects are designed to integrate key learning from the CASETM sequence of courses and have students apply them to real-world career situations through student-directed research, Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE) projects, or other internship/work-based learning opportunities. In the capstone course students will apply the methods and knowledge learned from previous CASE courses to synthesize their own research project to further expand their understanding and knowledge surrounding a specific problem. Students will identify a problem, develop and implement research procedures, document the research, analyze the resulting data, and present their findings and recommendations through a written report, a visual display, or oral presentation. Students that complete the student-directed research project will be eligible to apply for and earn three transcripted credits from the Institute of Applied Agriculture at the University of Maryland.
