Agricultural Education and Communication

eLearning

It's all about your potential... to teach, lead and inform.

The department of Agricultural Education and Communication offers options to complete online graduate degrees, graduate certificates, and professional development certificates. Since we admitted our first students in January 2005, our online Master of Science degree program has continued to be an excellent advanced degree option for professionals who are interested in agricultural education, communication, leadership and extension. Graduate certificates can be completed by both degree seeking and non-degree seeking students and allow learners to customize their experiences as scholars.

AEC continues to strive to provide relevant and accessible curriculum to agricultural teachers, leaders, and extension agents through these opportunities for continued education.
