Overview
The Master of Science in Agricultural Communications at Oklahoma State University is designed primarily for students interested in research. The program develops students’ theoretical and research foundation for further graduate studies in addition to further knowledge and skills in agriculture and education or communications. Two options are available in this program.
This program requires 30 approved credit hours of coursework including a six-credit-hour formal thesis. The thesis is a report of scholarly research conducted by the student. The scope of the study will normally be of state or national interest, and the thesis will include an in-depth analysis of the findings.
The program requires 32 approved credit hours of coursework including a two-credit-hour formal report. Although the formal report is the result of original research, the literature review or statistical analysis may lack the depth required of a thesis.
This program also provides development of professional communications skills for related careers in agribusiness, government service, and extension. The master's degree program in agricultural communications provides a flexible program, which can be tailored to meet each student's unique situation. Specialization areas such as marketing, mass media, and public relations are also available through cooperation with the School of Media and Strategic Communications.
