Online Masters Program in CALS
Did you know there is a 100% online master’s program in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences? The OMALS program is an amazing option for students in all areas of study within the university and has seven different concentrations: Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare, Applied Nutrition and Physical Activity, Education, Environmental Science, Food Safety and Biosecurity, Leadership Studies, and Plant Science and Pest Management. The program is an approved Accelerated master’s program through the graduate school and students can begin taking coursework in the last two semesters of their senior year at the current undergraduate tuition rate. Once they complete their undergraduate degree, students will have the flexibility to complete the OMALS degree when and where they choose. They may continue to take courses full time or may adjust their course load if they relocate or become employed.
We currently waive our application fee for Virginia Tech students. Please see the attached flyer and contact Jennifer Jones with any questions you have about the program, admissions, or concentrations. Feel free to also visit the website or join one of our “First Fridays” online information sessions for more information.
