Agricultural Education (M.S., minor)

Description

The Master of Science in Agricultural Education offers coursework that serves educators, leaders, and communicators in the broad agricultural industry. Agricultural education combines skills in leadership development, experiential learning, and teaching instruction, in order to educate others about the importance of agriculture, food, and natural resources. Agricultural educators teach (both formally and informally) these subjects using a variety of content areas such as science, communication, leadership, math, and technology.

The M.S. degree may be pursued with an emphasis in formal (school based agricultural education – teacher licensure) or non-formal education, leadership, communications, and/or extension, outreach, and engagement. The majority of students in this program seek the non-thesis track, and pursue the Teacher Licensure Program, however, there are occasional students who pursue the thesis track. Students work with program advisors to make program of study decisions prior to beginning the program. Agricultural Education can also be included as one component of a MAIS program.
