There are hundreds of agriculture teachers, extension agents and other agricultural professionals who plan on starting a graduate program “some day,” but haven’t. Those who procrastinate may be missing out on pay raises, promotions, and gaining new knowledge that can help on the job. Tuition rates keep climbing, so it would be smart to go ahead and get the Master’s now.

With the GRAEDE program there is really no excuse for not getting started. You can take courses on the job no matter where you are physically located. The cost is very reasonable. NC State has the 2nd lowest tuition rate in the nation among land-grant colleges.

The GRAEDE courses are not hidden behind firewalls. You are encouraged to go to http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/agexed/ and click on any of the courses and take them for a test drive.

If you need more information about the GRAEDE program, please contact Gary Moore at gary_moore@ncsu.edu or 919-515-1756.
