The Morrison School has an agreement with the United States Peace Corps that makes combining graduate studies with Peace Corps service very appealing. Participants can receive up to six semester hours of credit for their independent field work while serving in the Peace Corps. Graduate course work precedes departure to foreign countries. Interested individuals must complete separate applications to ASU and the Peace Corps, and prepare plans of study with their faculty committees regarding studies in the field. In addition to the computing resources available to all students at ASU East, the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management has laboratories dedicated to food safety and science, soil and plant analysis, and GIS modeling.
Laboratories are available to students for specific classes and related graduate thesis research.
Once admitted, a student can request a temporary faculty advisor in a potential area of concentration in order to prepare a program of study. Students are encouraged to begin discussions with faculty members early in their studies so that course work and potential employment can be geared toward supporting their thesis research. All students, whether in a thesis or nonthesis option, must file a program of study and form a faculty advisory committee.
