The Master of Science in Agricultural Education degree program offered at a distance is designed specifically to meet the needs of today's working professional. The program is ideally suited for teachers, employees of state and federal agencies, extension agents, and employees of private businesses who need to expand their knowledge and skills to the master's degree level. This degree program offers two options: thesis or non-thesis and mirrors the on-campus degree program. Both options require a minimum of 36 semester hours of graduate coursework. A maximum of 12 hours of coursework from another institution may be evaluated for transfer to Texas Tech University. An oral exam and a research thesis for the thesis option or an oral exam for the non-thesis option are due during the graduating semester.

Classes are delivered using one or combinations of formats including web-based instruction, interactive video conferences, and face-to face.
