The online Agricultural Leadership, Education, and Communications Master of Science degree enables students to complete web-based courses to meet the same requirements as the traditional on-campus degree program.

Some courses are synchronous, where online students log into an online portal simultaneously with other students and the course instructor. Some courses are asynchronous, where students complete their work at times independent of other students.

All synchronous courses required to graduate are offered during the evenings (Central Standard Time) at times convenient to students with daytime responsibilities. 

Tuition for students enrolled in the online graduate program is lower than for on-campus students. Prospective students are welcome to "try out" our program by enrolling in a course as a "non-degree-seeking student" prior to applying.  Information on course registration can be found here.
