The Program

A new student cohort begins every January (Spring Semester).  This allows you to build a strong network of support that will help you not only in your coursework, but in your professional career as well. Courses are eight weeks long and taught one at a time, so you can focus on the content. Extension, Leadership, and Agriscience tracks all take the core courses and classes unique to each profession. The courses are listed below followed by the semester and session that they are offered. Click on a course name to view the syllabus where available.
