ducation is not a "one-size-fits-all" proposition. Maybe you'd like to return to college and pursue a graduate degree in agronomy, but your time, schedule, location, work or family commitments don't allow you to take traditional "resident" classes on campus. Perhaps you don't need a full degree, just certain courses or workshops to enhance your career or further your personal or professional development goals. These and other reasons bring adult learners to our online courses and other life-long learning opportunities.

At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, we offer a complete online non-thesis M.S. in Agronomy degree program, as well as a variety of courses and workshops to meet the needs of nondegree-seeking students and life-long learners. The majority of our classes and workshops are offered for noncredit professional development, as well as for regular academic credit at UNL.

To earn academic credit for courses, students must be admitted to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln; students seeking graduate credit must be admitted to UNL's Graduate School. Academic students are expected to complete assignments which go beyond what is expected of students taking classes for noncredit professional development. Earned academic credits can be applied towards related degree programs at UNL or transferred to other institutions.
