Program Description
The master of science in agriculture program is a
significant departure from other graduate
programs offered within the College of
Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource
Sciences. The emphasis of the program is on the
agricultural professional, practitioner, and
educator; its applications reflect the increased
need for prepared individuals to apply new and
emerging technologies and scientific findings.
This degree offers practitioners the opportunity
to continue their education while they continue
employment either inside or outside of the
Pullman area. The program is also designed for
currently enrolled WSU students, at a distance
and on campus, who wish to prepare for or further
their careers in agriculture. A large number of
electives are permitted to enable the student to
emphasize one or two fields or otherwise tailor
the curriculum to fit particular needs.
This program is based at WSU Pullman and is
transmitted cooperatively through the distance
degree program to various off-campus sites within
the state and region using a variety of
instructional technologies. This exposes students
to the technologies of the future and to multiple
teaching faculties. A variety of distance
learning formats will be employed; including
two-way audio-video interactive classrooms, video
conferencing, and Internet based instruction,
pre-produced video, computer-aided instruction,
computer-generated visual aids, and
state-of-the-art instructional technologies. Both
individual and group instruction techniques will
be used.
