About Agricultural Economics Graduate Programs
The doctoral degree program emphasizes preparation for research, teaching and extension. The MS program may be a step toward the PhD but is frequently used as a terminal program for those interested in agribusiness, extension or government. Programs are flexible. All PhD and most MS students become involved in research, but those whose career interests lie in other directions find the department willing to accommodate them.
Internal Funding
A 3.25 GPA (A=4.0) is generally a minimum requirement for financial assistance such as fellowships and assistantships for research and teaching. Reasons for supporting a student with a GPA below 3.25 must be documented in detail.
