Courses

The Department of Resource Economics and Environmental Sociology offers a course-based MAg program, with two possible areas of specialization:
-Agricultural & Resource Economics
-Rural & Environmental Sociology

The Masters in Agriculture program is designed for early and mid-career applicants to focus on topics in one of two areas: agricultural economics (agriculture and food policy, consumption, resources and environmental sustainability), or rural and environmental sociology (social movements, risk, resilience and indigenous studies).

As a course-based program, the focus is on interpretation, adaptation, and application of research findings, rather than carrying out research. The program can be completed in one year with 8 courses and a final project.
