Agricultural Economics is much more than farm business. You’ll study the entire “farm-to-fork” food system, environmental and natural resource issues, local and international economic development, law, policy and more. To customize your degree, you’ll select one of these options:

• Agribusiness Management and Food Marketing: for students interested in careers in marketing, sales, and management of farms or firms involved in food and agricultural products
• Agricultural Economics: for students interested in careers in rural public policy analysis, rural economic development, natural resource and environmental economics, cooperative extension, or other individualized programs
• Advanced Studies: for students who plan to pursue graduate study in law, business, public policy or other areas including agricultural economics and international affairs

​Like much of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, you’ll see that faculty and staff in Agricultural Economics are open and accessible.  With opportunities like education abroad, unique research projects, the Agribusiness Club, monthly corporate visits and more, you’ll find a program that’s committed to helping students push their potential.
