Masters Degree in Agricultural Education, The
AgEd Master of Science program is planned as a professional degree for students who have completed the requirements of a four-year curriculum in agricultural education or allied fields of study. Areas of concentration include program planning, curriculum development, teaching methodologies, instructional technologies and youth development. Students in the program compete course work in both education and agriculture for their professional development as high school or community college instructors of agriculture programs. A thesis is optional in this program. Students in the AgEd concentration may also pursue state certification for teaching high school agriculture. The Council on Teacher Education serves as the governance system for certification at the university and specific course work can be planned for students to meet requirements for both certification and the Master of Science degree. The AgED Master's degree is now available by taking a series of Web-based courses meeting the same requirements as the traditional on-campus degree program. The On-line sections of these courses have been and are being developed in order to provide access of the degree to the large numbers of interested individuals who currently are unable to pursue the degree primarily due to distance barriers. This "offcampus program" involves fall and spring online courses and summer on-campus courses.
