The Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics offers four options within the agricultural business bachelor of science degree program. They are agribusiness management, farm and ranch management, international agriculture, and livestock business management. All four options focus on the development of critical thinking, research, negotiation, and communication skills for students interested in 1. agricultural operations, 2. small rural businesses, 3. community economics, 4. financial institutions, 5. agricultural and natural resources development and, 6. other pursuits where applied economic tools will be useful. A brief description of minimum course requirements for each of the four options in agricultural business is given below. In addition, faculty advisers will work with students to tailor a curriculum to individual interests and goals. Agribusiness Management Option This curriculum is for students preparing for careers in the agribusiness field. Applied agricultural economics courses are supplemented with marketing, management, finance and other courses from the College of Business and production-oriented courses from other departments in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources. Farm and Ranch Management Option This curriculum is for students intending to become operators or professional managers of farms, ranches or feedlots. It is also well suited for students interested in the field of agricultural finance, or a minor in biological fields such as agroecology or range management. In this option, courses in farm and ranch management, finance, and marketing are supplemented by courses in crops, range management, veterinary sciences and animal science, with electives in other areas. International Agriculture Option This curriculum is for students who desire training related to international agricultural business, or with agricultural and economic problems of developing nations. International trade and relations, world food production, agricultural and economic geography, foreign language, economic development and comparative systems are emphasized in this program Livestock Business Management Option This curriculum is for students intending to work in any sector of the livestock industry, ranging from input suppliers, to ranches, feedlots, meat packing companies, marketing and sales agents, futures/commodities exchange groups, policy makers, and international trade organizations. In this option, courses in farm and ranch management, agricultural finance, marketing, and trade are supplemented with courses in animal science, biology, range management, food science, data analysis, and other disciplines. Students may pursue a minor in Animal Science as part of this option, but can choose the non-minor version instead. Students will gain a broad understanding of both the business and science of the livestock industry.
