农业经济学理学硕士

当前，提供两种类型的硕士学位课程。一种是研究型硕士学位（A计划），由学生进行研究并撰写论文。另一个硕士学位课程（计划B）是应用农业经济学的课程，不需要论文。参加计划A的大多数学生都打算攻读博士学位。学位也是如此。计划A-该计划旨在满足对特定主题有浓厚兴趣并希望通过编写一份主要研究论文来全面发展其理解的学生的需求。希望该课程的学生完成一篇论文，并至少完成24小时的课程工作，其中12小时必须为600级，其中12小时必须为农业经济学课程。计划B-持续需要硕士学位课程，以培养具有广泛专业技能的个人。通过学习更多的
Currently, two types of Master's degree programs are offered. One is the research Master's degree (Plan A), in which the student conducts research and writes a thesis. The other Master's Degree program (Plan B) is in Applied Agricultural Economics and does not require a thesis. Most of the students undertaking Plan A intend to pursue a Ph.D. degree as well. Plan A - This program is designed to meet the needs of students who have a strong interest in a specific topic and wish to fully develop their understanding of it by preparing a major research paper. Students in this program will be expected to complete a thesis plus a minimum of 24 hours of course work, 12 hours of which must be at the 600 level and 12 hours of which must be in agricultural economics courses. Plan B - There exists a continuing need for a Master's degree program which produces individuals with a broad set of professional skills. By taking a larger set of courses, students develop the capacity to apply most of the tools available to an applied economics. Academic work in this program concentrates on applied agricultural economics courses directed toward the special needs of the individual student. This program does not require a thesis, but it does require 36 credit hours of graduate coursework, at least 15 hours of which must be at the 600 or higher level, and 18 hours of which must be in agricultural economics courses.
