The Ag-Business program provides a balanced educational program with relatively broad interdisciplinary training as opposed to narrow specialization, thus preparing the student for success in their chosen field. The program in Ag-Business integrates the discipline of agriculture, business, accounting, economics and finance. Emphasis is placed on management directed towards the farm business and Ag-Business firms. Trends in careers related to agriculture are shifting from production to ag-business services such as management, processing, distribution and marketing. This creates a need for recruits with a broad background in these areas of training. Our systems concept is geared to integration of disciplines to better prepare graduates for present day needs.
Our faculty members work closely with students to ensure that you receive instruction in the areas of ag-business economics that will be most beneficial in your career after Tech. In addition to sales and marketing, graduates of this program pursue exciting and challenging careers in grain merchandising, risk management, environmental policy, agricultural lending and many more. The Ag-Business major opens the door to many exciting agricultural careers as well as opportunities to continue your education at the graduate level.
