This study examined if high school seniors in agricultural education in the Midwest US had the equivalent knowledge that is presented in introductory animal science courses at the college level. About one quarter of the students earned a 70 percent on the exam. Characteristics that corresponded with high achievement were post high school education plans and the amount of completed semesters in agricultural education. In addition, living location, interest and experience with animals, 4-H and FFA membership and grade point average also influenced student performance on the exam. Teachers who had completed more semesters in animal science in college had an impact on the students. The study found high school seniors in agricultural education programs possess the knowledge covered in entry level college animal science courses and recommended that both high school and college curricula be evaluated.
