Program Overview
This Agricultural Education Program offers a Master of Arts (M.A.) degree that qualifies the individual for initial teacher certification in the areas of agricultural and natural resources education and technology education. Individuals wishing to teach in middle or secondary schools that are recent undergraduate students or career changers in the areas of agriculture and natural resources and various technology fields are likely candidates for this degree.
This degree provides the pedagogical skills that give the student a pragmatic hands-on program that uses an investigative, scientific, design-and-construct, and problem solving approach to teaching. The curriculum is designed to allow students to teach in both the classroom and laboratory setting.

Program Overview
The program in Statistics leads to the Master of Science degree and offers students the perspectives and skills necessary to understand and work as a statistician in various sectors of the economy (business, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, or government sectors). Also, a strong intermediate level of training is offered so that students may continue graduate work and obtain the PhD degree. The department has ready access to various state-of-the-art computing and library resources. We provide a generous financial aid package to qualified candidates. The Statistics program also has an internship program for interested students. The intern program, a cooperative effort of the Statistics Program at the University of Delaware, trains students by a combination of formal university graduate courses and "hands on" application in an industrial setting. The objective of the internship is to introduce the student to the "art" aspects of Applied Statistics to complement the theoretical foundations learned in the classroom. Delaware's many chemical, pharmaceutical and industrial companies provide a unique place in which to use the intern concept because of the problem-solving nature of their work, and the availability of experienced statisticians to guide intern work.

Operations Research (MS)
Program Overview
The Operations Research (OR) Program at the University of Delaware is designed to provide the student with a strong foundation in the theories and methods of economics, engineering, mathematics and statistics in order to analyze problems from a systems approach. Valid applications (case studies) bridge the gap between pure theory and methods. The rigorous core courses provide the student with methodological tools in recognizing, analyzing and solving problems. The program strives to educate well-rounded individuals who are able to compete in the market places of academia as well as public institutions and private enterprises. Course work includes a core in operations research, optimization, statistics, and applied probability, in addition to supporting courses related to areas of application. The department has ready access to various state-of-the-art computing and library resources. We provide a generous financial aid package to qualified candidates. Students in the OR program can also participate in a formalized internship program called CORP (Corporation Operations Researchers Program). Students in this program usually intern at the corporation during the academic year (September to May), 20 hours per week and 40 hours per week in summer.
