About Agribusiness:
The Agribusiness
Curriculum provides a base of knowledge and training which supports
regional, national, and international career opportunities in the
production, processing, and distribution (marketing) of food, fiber,
and oil-based products.
The Agribusiness
program is designed to provide students with maximum flexibility in
meeting individual needs and enhancing employability. Through
selection of appropriate elective courses, the student may
concentrate in the following area or obtain a minor in: Business. In
addition to an Agribusiness major, the student will receive minors
in Agricultural Economics and General Agriculture.
Agribusiness
Degree:
Agribusiness
involves the production, commercial processing, and marketing of
food and fiber products. Because this food and fiber system accounts
for over 22 percent of our nation's economic output and 20 percent
of the total U.S. work force, the agriculturalist of tomorrow must
be knowledgeable in a diversity of disciplines in order to meet the
challenges facing the agricultural industry. As an Agribusiness
graduate, you will have acquired knowledge in marketing, finance,
management, production and processing methods, international trade,
environmental aspects, technological improvements, consumer
preferences, and demographic changes.
