Online Master's Degrees
Our department offers two masters degrees – Agricultural Communications and Agricultural Education. The length of time to complete the degree depends on how many classes students choose to complete each semester. Additionally, students can choose to complete the masters degree on the thesis (30 hours) or non-thesis (36 hours) track.
- Students in the thesis track will work with their graduate committee to design, propose, and complete a comprehensive, original research project. This is the preferred option for on-campus students in assistantship roles.
- In coordination with their graduate committee, students in the non-thesis track will complete a comprehensive project or exam. This could be an oral exam and portfolio, journal article, needs assessment, small research project, internship (with objectives), or educational product development. Click here to learn more.
