Noncredit Courses

The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture offers the following online courses for both academic credit and noncredit professional development.  Noncredit participants take courses alongside regular academic students, and can choose the level of participation best suited to their interests and goals.  Because these are regular, semester-based courses, they are available only in the semester in which they are taught.  Please refer to the "Register" tab, below, for the list of courses currently available and registration information.  The registration fee is $150 per course; however, special package pricing is available for the four-course plant breeding series and the two-course specialty grains series. If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact Cathy Dickinson via phone (402.472.1730) or e-mail.
