This presentation highlights an innovative, collaborative program designed to advance experiential learning and global engagement in agriculture education. The initiative brings together St. Mary’s University, Texas A&M University–Kingsville, the Norman Borlaug Institute of International Agriculture at Texas A&M AgriLife Research, and Texas A&M University’s Center for International Business and Education to prepare globally minded, ethical leaders capable of addressing complex challenges in food, agriculture, natural resources, and human (FANH) systems. Aligned with the USDA Strategic Plan 2022–2026 and institutional missions, the program employs a three-level hybrid model that integrates interdisciplinary curriculum, international experiences, and professional internships. Level I centered on an International Agriculture Management curriculum combining international ag-science, agribusiness, and sustainable resource management. This program integrated regional studies of Brazil and Guatemala with international trade and economic development, supported by Portuguese language training for agribusiness and enhanced educational activities. Level II engages students in faculty-led, short-term international experiences that immerse them in real-world agricultural systems through partnerships with universities, private industry, trade organizations, and government agencies. Level III offered paid domestic and international internships with USDA agencies or other agricultural organizations.  Level III enabled students to apply their knowledge in professional contexts while developing leadership and intercultural competencies. Program effectiveness was examined through a mixed-methods assessment capturing student learning outcomes, professional skill development, reflective experiences, and internship supervisors’ perceptions of student contributions. Initial observations revealed an increase in global awareness, career readiness, and student engagement among diverse cohort populations. By reducing financial and structural barriers to participation, this scalable and transferable model strengthens the FANH workforce, supports diversity in USDA-related careers, and exemplifies innovative teaching and learning aligned with the future of agriculture.
