Montana State University offers new online course on international extension systems

A new interdisciplinary online course from Montana State University will help students understand the influence of extension systems around the world while examining the impact of agricultural development on rural communities in developed and developing nations. Students will also learn how culture, available resources and educational channels affect the adoption of technological and scientific innovations for food and fiber production. The course, "International Extension Systems," runs Jan. 13 to May 7 and offers three graduate credi ts or three undergraduate credits from MSU. Students do not have to be enrolled in an MSU degree program to take the course. It provides a professional development opportunity for extension agents in agriculture, 4-H and rural development, international aid workers, K-12 agriculture teachers and anyone interested in international development.
