Distance Education
As a working professional in agriculture, extension, education or a related career area, it may seem impossible to continue graduate study. The department of Agricultural Education, Communications and Leadership has designed an online degree program that enables working professionals to achieve either the Master of Science or Master of Agriculture degree. All courses are delivered via Desire 2 Learn or Moodle and are completely asynchronous.
