Thread: MS Aquaponics/Aquaculture

I'm a teacher who is interested in learning more about Aquaponics and am very interested in pursuing an advanced degree in Aquaculture/Aquaponics. I've tried a google search and just come up with junk webpages.

Can anyone help me? It looks like most of the work in this field is being pioneered in Aussie, Canada and the USA. Thanks!

	Education Degrees Education Degrees Teachers play an important role in fostering the intellectual and social development of children during their formative years. The education that students acquire is key to determining the future of those students. Whether in elementary or high schools or in private or public schools, teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop into responsible adults. Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using classroom presentations or individual instruction to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, and English. They plan, evaluate, and assign lessons; prepare, administer, and grade tests; listen to oral presentations; and maintain classroom discipline. Teachers observe and evaluate a student's performance and potential. They are increasingly asked to use new assessment methods •Public school teachers must be licensed, which typically requires a bachelor's degree and the completion of an approved teacher education program; private school teachers do not have to be licensed but may still need a bachelor's degree. •Job prospects are best for teachers in high-demand fields, such as mathematics, science, and bilingual education, and in less desirable urban or rural school districts. •Teachers must have the ability to communicate, inspire trust and confidence, and motivate students, as well as understand students' educational and emotional needs.

I'm afraid I'm totally at sea in regard to your topic, but welcome aboard and best of luck to you. It sounds fascinating.

I am only aware of two programs and I'm uncertain as to whether you can complete the entire Masters degree through DL. As has been stated in the past, sometimes the information presented on a website seems rigid but in reality it is frequently negotiable. You may find that schools are more accomodating for students who have already been admitted/enrolled. In any case, here they are:

Good luck.

HHMMM........ I see the problem, there are some hands on stuff. I guess being intensive science and a type of agriculture, you'd need some of that.
