Agribusiness Curriculum
The B.S. degree in Agribusiness prepares students for careers in the
nation's growing agribusiness sector which provides products and services
for the production, processing, and distribution of food and fiber.
With the increased consumption of food away from home, the increased
packaging and meals-ready-to-eat categories, and potential for expanded
export opportunities, the need for graduates to fill agribusiness positions
is increasing. The agribusiness program combines the Common
Body of Knowledge requirements of a degree in business with
coursework emphasizing the understanding of the unique institutional
and managerial challenges facing agribusiness firms. Students integrate
business management principles with technical knowledge to develop practical
decision-making skills. This breadth and depth of training allows graduates
of the program to find employment in non-ag firms as well as with more
traditional agribusiness companies.
This degree program is jointly administered by the College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences and the Mays Business School. Students
may elect to be advised through either the Department of Agricultural
Economics in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences or the Undergraduate
Programs Office in the Mays Business School.
