Degrees, courses and continuing education

Online bachelor's degree in agronomy or horticulture

Are there any online credit classes that can be taken towards a bachelor's degree in agronomy or horticulture? If not at MU, is there another college?

MU currently doesn't offer online bachelor's degrees or courses in agronomy or horticulture. However, you can take many of the general education courses required for such degrees through our Center for Distance and Independent Study. See the list of available courses. The center also provides an online bachelor's completion program in general studies, through which you combine course work in three different areas rather than focusing on a single major.

Searching on Petersons.com, one of the more credible online learning portals, I found two schools that offer online bachelor's degrees in horticulture -- Texas Tech University and Thomas Edison State College in New Jersey. A search on agronomy yielded zero results for online bachelor's degrees, but you may want to search the site yourself and make sure they don't list the degree name differently somehow.

Intensive English at MU

I am a international student. I want to study Intensive English at MU, but can't find information about this class. Could you please tell me the Web site for the English class?

The Intensive English Program Web site will provide you with information on available courses.

I recommend you also visit the International Center Web site and view its resources to learn more about the university and its services for students from around the world.

The admission Web site includes information specifically for international students.

Personal enrichment classes

My mom, who lives Jefferson City, would like to take flower arranging and other community education type classes. What organization offers these?

I'm not aware of any flower-arranging classes offered at the moment by MU Extension, but if your mother is over age 50 and interested in continuing education courses, I can recommend some other personal enrichment options through MU Extension's Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. There are fall and winter classes. If you would like a printed catalog, please call 573-882-2585. You might call your local MU Extension center for information about educational programs in the area.
