Undergraduate Program
Agricultural business prepares you for a career as a decision maker who will apply business management concepts to agricultural businesses. The Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (B.S.A.) with a major in Agricultural Business (AGBS) offers students three concentration options. This allows students to better position themselves for opportunities in agribusiness management, agricultural marketing in both the domestic and international arenas, pre-law, public policy, and entry into graduate school. Additionally, students majoring in other disciplines at the U of A have the option of completing a minor in agribusiness.
Graduate Program
Our department conducts timely and relevant economic and social research which focuses on the production and distribution of agricultural products, the use of natural resources and the needs of rural people. Our faculty works closely with our graduate students to provide a comprehensive and affordable education that prepares graduates for careers as leaders in the business, financial, legal and environmental communities. Five program concentrations are available, including thesis/non-thesis options and international opportunities, such as our world-acclaimed ATLANTIS program.
