This Master's program in Agricultural Education enables students to obtain both a Master of Science degree and teaching certification. Tailored for individuals holding a Bachelor's degree in agriculture-related fields, it prepares graduates to teach agriculture at the secondary level while pursuing advanced studies. The curriculum requires on-campus participation, as distance learning options are unavailable. Focused on professional development, the program strengthens teaching competencies through practical coursework and learning experiences. Certification candidates must complete a two-credit creative component, which involves compiling a teaching portfolio. This portfolio serves as evidence of meeting Iowa Teaching Standards, featuring self-evaluations, reflective analyses, and documented achievements. During their final oral examination, graduate students will present their portfolio and respond to inquiries from their academic review committee.
