\u200bThe Agricultural Business major teaches students the operating techniques and business skills used in the modern food and fiber industry. This program builds student knowledge and skills needed to manage small- and medium-sized businesses in agriculture and allied industries. This is true whether the business is directly involved in production, value-adds to raw agricultural products, or provides support services including the distribution, processing, packaging, and marketing of agricultural products.<\/p>\n
Students gain a comprehensive knowledge of a wide range of business practices in context of agriculture. We value hands on experience both in and out of the classroom, including internships and research assistant positions within the Department of Agricultural Resource Economics and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
