The Master of Agriculture (MAgr) in Agricultural Development offers professional graduate education with a management focus for agriculture, food, and natural resources. This program prioritizes developing practical problem-solving abilities through applying scientific and technological knowledge for human benefit, rather than serving as a research-focused degree.
Approved for online asynchronous delivery, this degree suits those pursuing careers in instructional design, agricultural leadership, or rural community development. It equips graduates for leadership positions in education, natural resource management, extension services, and various agriculture and life science professions. The non-thesis curriculum focuses on cultivating skills to apply scientific solutions to real-world challenges.
Students may complete a professional paper showcasing their problem-solving abilities or undertake a practical internship lasting three to nine months, depending on department specifications. These hands-on experiences provide valuable applied learning opportunities in professional settings.
