The On-line Graduate Program in Seed Technology and Business (STB) provides a unique opportunity for seed professionals to grow by gaining a better understanding of the science, technology, and management that are key to the seed industry. Students can earn a degree while working anywhere in the world.
The STB program features a Master of Science in Seed Technology and Business, as well as graduate certificates in Seed Science and Technology and Seed Business Management.
Curriculum includes science, technology, and business courses with a focus on decision-making in the seed sector. The program is flexible and convenient for working professionals with content available over the Internet and on CD-ROM.
The master's degree is paced for working professionals and features a 36-month study course, which includes 36 credits and a creative component project instead of a thesis. High-quality content is delivered by expert faculty and students are part of an interactive group. Applications are being accepted until March 15 for admission in May 2013.
