The Department of Agricultural Education and Commu- nication offers major work for the degrees of Master of Science (thesis) and Master of Agriculture (nonthesis). The requirements for each degree are described in the General Information section. Two curriculum options for graduate study toward either degree are offered.The extension option isforthose persons currently employed or preparing to be employed in the cooperative extension service, including home economics, agriculture, 4-H, and other related areas. The teaching option is for persons who are teaching agricultural educa- tion in the public schools and those who wish to enter the profession and require basic certification.
