Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D.)
Agricultural & Extension Education

The Ph.D. is an academic degree, conferred in recognition of high attainment and productive scholarship. The graduate committee, research advisor, and the Ph.D. student work very closely in order to achieve those standards throughout the program.

The program usually lasts three years. Students are required to take 50 to 75 credits, a candidacy exam, a comprehensive exam, meet department publication requirements, and defend a dissertation/thesis.

If you are interested in exploring the frontiers of knowledge in agricultural and extension education or in outreach/extension scholarship through either the agricultural sciences or in the human sciences our program offers excellent opportunities.

Former graduate students currently hold faculty appointments in higher education or international organizations.
