There are also available a number of one-credit distance chemistry and biochemistry courses that may be taken and applied to the Master of Agriculture degree. These courses were originally developed for high school chemistry teachers, but about 85% of the content is basic material in chemistry and biochemistry. These are asynchronous and may be taken any time during the year. If you are interested in taking one or more of these courses, contact Dr. David Brooks.
