B.S. Agribusiness

In this major students learn about the nation’s growing agribusiness sector and its contributions to the agriculture and natural resources industries. Students gain core business knowledge and a strong understanding of the unique institutional and managerial challenges facing agribusiness firms. By integrating business management principles with applied technical knowledge, we help students develop practical decision-making skills to address challenges facing agribusiness firms in the production, processing and distribution of food and fiber in Texas, the nation and the world. In the agribusiness degree program, our students take selected coursework in Mays Business School.
