MA/MS in Animal Sciences

This online Master of Agriculture focuses on animal and dairy sciences. It was designed for people whose employers want staff with advanced degrees, and it lets students put together a plan of study that fits their own interests and available time. The degree suits those aiming at work in Extension, teaching, sales, marketing, finance, or production. It also serves students who want a stronger academic base before entering a professional school. Graduates may find openings with companies in animal agriculture that value graduate-level study and skill in conducting and interpreting research, including firms in feeding, breeding, production, and animal health management. Training in this area can also be an asset in basic and molecular science settings. Students pay a per-credit tuition rate and an instructional support fee for each credit hour.
