Master of Science in Agriculture (Ref.#052)

I received my master's degree in Agriculture from Western Kentucky University. The program has an interdisciplinary emphasis, combining formal course work in experimental design, genetics, with cooperative education experiences and applied problem solving projects bridging the various disciplines of agriculture and life sciences. The program was supplemented by courses from the college of business in applied economics, finance, and accounting. This degree provided a firm foundation for economic and policy analysis related to food, agriculture, and life sciences.
