The agricultural economics area has two programs designed to prepare students for careers in the agricultural economics profession. The agribusiness major provides students with training related to management, finance, and marketing in the agribusiness sector. The agricultural economics major provides students with the theory behind decisions concerning agricultural production, marketing, resource use, pricing, and policy. Both of these majors prepare students to pursue advanced degrees if they choose.
