About the course

Traditionally known as the land-grant arm of Florida A&M University (FAMU), the College of Agriculture and Food Sciences (CAFS) offers students majoring in agriculture sciences a broad spectrum of academic opportunities to continue their education and professional development. CAFS academic programs offer unique experiences for undergraduate and graduate students through incorporating aspects of teaching, research, international agriculture and business, as well as extension and community outreach. The College of Agriculture and Food Sciences offers a MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE (thesis and nonthesis options) in Agricultural Sciences with concentrations in Agribusiness, Entomology, Plant Science, and Soil and Water Science. A minimum of thirty six (36) semester hours beyond the bachelor?s degree is required for the Master of Science degree. The degree takes approximately two calendar years for its completion. The curriculum of the program is structured so that students may expand their knowledge in selected areas of agricultural sciences instead of specializing in any one field. However, the research performed by these students is specific in nature and is supervised by faculty members in their areas of expertise. Students are exposed to a full range of agricultural research problems and their management through on-campus instruction and hands-on experiential learning with the programs? faculty and off campus internships at other universities or industry partners. To ensure the success of the students in completing the degree program, each student is mentored by a Thesis Supervisory Committee. The committee members guide the student?s choice of core courses, electives and internships, test their problem-solving skills on a regular basis and through final oral examination. The program produces well-trained graduate students who are ready for the challenges of the changing world. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
