Description

Our program is unique because it combines education in management and economics with a solid technical knowledge in production agriculture and skills in problem solving.

The curriculum emphasizes:
  • Economic theory
  • Agricultural business management
  • Quantitative methods
  • Agricultural and Biological Sciences electives
  • Students can choose a variety of courses to balance this strong theoretical foundation with practical skills in specific areas such as accounting, agricultural marketing, animal science, agronomy, and other agricultural fields.

    Most students completing majors in agricultural business find employment in the agricultural and foods system beyond or outside of production agriculture. Many students choose careers in agribusiness management, production agriculture, financial services, sales, banking, marketing, or policy formulation and analysis.
