Hunter Education
Hunter Education is a web course given by the
School of Education.
The purpose of Hunter Education is to develop knowledge, skills, and
attitudes necessary to become safe, responsible hunters. Typically,
students meet these needs by attending a traditional, instructor led
course including classroom lectures and field/range experiences. In
today's society, students have less free time to devote to attending a
Hunter Education course.
Other Southeast states that are
involved with the project are Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina.
