The Agribusiness Teaching Center (ATC) ((アルメニア語:Ագրոբիզնեսի ուսուցման կենտրոն)) of the International Center for Agribusiness Research and Education was founded through the collaborative effort of the Armenian National Agrarian University (ANAU) and Texas A&M University and the support from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Marketing Assistance Project. The Center provides agricultural business education. The ATC is established as a Department within the Armenian State Agrarian University and offers bachelor's and master's degree programs in agribusiness and marketing. The curriculum is western-structured, based on the undergraduate and graduate (MAB) degree curriculum of Texas A&M University. Courses are taught in English by American and Armenian instructors mainly with graduate degrees from the U.S. universities. Classrooms, the videoconferencing room, and the high-tech computer lab are furnished with modern equipment and technology, which gives the students a complete working environment for both classroom and independent study.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.icare.am/atc )〕 ==History of Agribusiness Teaching Center (ATC)== The Agribusiness Teaching Center (ATC) was established in August 2000 with an agreement between the Armenian Agricultural Academy (AAA), Texas A&M University and USDA-MAP. The first group of twenty-eight Armenian Agricultural Academy (AAA) students were selected for the first year to study at the ATC. Thirty juniors joined next year, among them the first two students from the Republic of Georgia. The first U.S university professors sent to Armenia to teach and advise at the ATC were: Dr. Daniel Dunn, ATC Director and Country Coordinator; Dr. John Nichols – P. I., program management and strategy; Dr. Tim Schilling; Dr. Carl Shafer; Dr. Emerson Babb; Dr. Bishu Chatterjee; Dr. Barry Carr; Dr. Verne House; Mr. Jack Cocks. Later, Rosemary Veneziale, and Andrew Matestic joined. Dr. Daniel Dunn started his activities in Armenia on October 26, 1999 as the Agribusiness Teaching Center Manager. Dr. Dunn did much for establishment and approval by the Armenian Agricultural Academy of an agribusiness curriculum, recruitment of students and faculty. In addition to his everyday professional management of the program, he taught financial management classes and monitored an English language summer program. Dr. Dunn developed relationship between the Georgian State Agrarian University and the AAA, which resulted in making the ATC a regional modern agribusiness school. Dr. John Nichols at Texas A&M University worked closely with Dr. Dunn in selecting and getting new graduate students enrolled in U.S.universities. Dr. Nichols played a key role in assisting Dr. Dunn and the faculty to develop strategy, plan and make decisions on the primary education, maintain excellent cooperative relationships with the Armenian State Agrarian University, as well as develop regional cooperation program with agricultural universities in the Republic of Georgia. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agribusiness Teaching Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
