After I complete my CCAF, I would like to pursue a Master's degree in Agronomy. I am currently trying to gather as much information as possible so when that time comes, I can immediately start my new goal. Any tips on colleges, courses, or just general gee whiz about this would be greatly appreciated.

Agronomy is not terribly mainstream, so that alone should help weed out the colleges which have no worthwhile accreditation. My only advice is to thoroughly research any college and ensure that their accreditation is both nationally recognized and current! Far too many "colleges" prey on military personnel.

My alma mater, Auburn University, may be just the school you seek, TSgt Melissa Post. As suggested by Maj William W. "Bill" Price, it is a land-grant university and its College of Agriculture is known far and wide and includes multiple agronomy specialties.

This is one that I am actually looking into. My boyfriend loves this school too. He is from Eufala. Thank you for the reply.

TSgt Melissa Post, Auburn is only about 65 miles from Eufaula. Also, Auburn is only about 55 miles from Maxwell AFB, which is in Montgomery. "It's Great, to be, an Auburn Tiger!"

LTC Stephen C. - If only I could attend it on campus... Right now I have to stick to online if I want to attend anything. Beautiful building though.
