A Master's degree in Agricultural Education prepares students as practitioners in agricultural business, formal and non-formal education, extension education, and other agriculture related fields. Our graduates are adept at developing and implementing programs that prepare individuals for the agricultural industry and keep the general public literate of the importance of the agriculture, food, fiber and natural resources in our daily living. Currently the graduate degree is listed under the Department of Human and Community Development.
To complete the degree, 32 hours of approved graduate level courses must be fulfilled. The AgEd master's program must be completed within five years after admission to the graduate college. Courses required in agriculture for the degree program may be selected from any department in the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES).
