Noncredit Courses

The Department of Agronomy and Horticulture offers the following online courses for both academic credit and noncredit professional development.  Noncredit participants take courses alongside regular academic students, and can choose the level of participation best suited to their interests and goals.  Because these are regular, semester-based courses, they are available only in the semester in which they are taught.  Please refer to the "Register" tab, below, for the list of courses currently available and registration information.  If you have questions or would like additional information, please contact Dr. Deana Namuth-Covert, dcovert2@unl.edu, 402.472.1549.

Students taking noncredit courses can also receive Continuing Education Units (CEUs) through the Certified Crop Adviser program. For more information on CEUs, visit, the Certified Crop Adviser website or, once you have completed applicable courses, contact Ashley Hartman, 402.472.1730, who can help you register for your CEUs.
