Agricultural graduates are in demand, recent studies show. To help meet that demand, Sam Houston State University (SHSU) has added an online Master of Agriculture in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Environment (SAFE).
The distance education program is designed to prepare working professionals for studies in agriculture that focus on sustainable practices.
The program’s curriculum will explore a variety of modern agricultural pursuits framed by sustainable practices that will include non-traditional and viable enterprises in agriculture, alternative value-added products, modern farming techniques, food safety and small business marketing.
“We know our students have unique needs and interests in the field of agriculture. That is why we are excited to offer a fully online degree program that is relevant to modern agriculture with sustainable practices,” Department Chair Stanley Kelley said. “SHSU is a leader in online education that has received national recognition. Our faculty are ready to engage you, no matter where you live.”
