This Master's degree leads to an initial licensure in Agricultural Education. Master of Science (MS)/initial licensure programs are for individuals with bachelor's degrees who want to become licensed teachers. These graduate-level programs provide rigorous, professional teacher preparation in accordance with Standards of Effective Practice for Teachers (SEPT) and content standards of the Minnesota Board of Teaching.
The agricultural education initial licensure program at the University of Minnesota is designed to help students become accomplished professional educators who can help students succeed in the classroom. The program prepares inquiring, analytical, and reflective professional educators who can teach in the classroom and lead in the schools.
Students enter a 12 to 15-month program integrating educational theory with classroom practice. Working closely with experienced teachers, students observe firsthand the daily rewards and pressures of their profession.
Flexibility is an important advantage of this program. Students may enroll in any semester and are welcomed into the entire agriculture education program, building valuable professional support. A second advantage is that most program credits may be applied toward completion of the MS degree.
This program includes two components: initial licensure and the MS degree. After successfully completing licensure requirements and appropriate work experience, students are recommended for state licensure to teach agricultural education in grades 5-12.
