Doctor of Education (EdD) in Agricultural Education

The delivery platform differs among programs. Most are web-supported with some interactive video. However, the delivery platform in most programs changes and depends on the course/program content, the needs of students and their geographic locations.

Only students who are admitted to Texas A&M University may enroll in these courses. Students wishing to enroll in any of the distance education programs must be admitted as a degree-seeking graduate student or as a post-baccalaureate non-degree seeking student. A student may take up to 12 hours in non-degree-seeking post-baccalaureate status and apply these hours to a master's program if all admission requirements to that master's program are fulfilled. Courses offered for extension credit may not be used on the student's degree plan. The department and/or college hosting the course must approve the use of any courses applied toward fulfillment of the requirements for the degree. Post-baccalaureate non-degree status does not establish eligibility for admission to degree-seeking status.

Texas A&M University provides students pursuing a graduate degree by distance a wide variety of student support services, distance education library support and purchase of books through the online book store. A complete listing of services, degree program descriptions, contact individuals within each program, cost and access to student applications are available through the distance education information page at www.tamu.edu/ode/disted. Because other programs are in development, students interested in distance education should check this page periodically. Students having questions should contact the Office of Distance Education, (979) 845-4282.

Detailed expectations for good practice in graduate education for graduate students and faculty members are discussed in a separate brochure entitled Expectations for Graduate Students at Texas A&M University . Copies of this brochure can be obtained in the student's department or the Office of Graduate Studies.
