Master of Science in Agriculture and Food Science (Ref.#052)

I received my master's degree in Agriculture from Western Kentucky University. The program has an interdisciplinary emphasis built on a quantitative foundation in applied statistics 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 focused on applied economics and management. This degree provided a firm foundation for economic and policy analysis related to food, agriculture, and life sciences.
