B.S. in agricultural science and a B.A. in economics
This dual degree program will allow students to combine a passion for providing for the world through agriculture with a powerful understanding of markets, trade, statistics, and solutions to resource allocation problems. The combination of degrees in agriculture and economics will prepare a graduate to positively impact the world in the public and private sector in fields relating agriculture and economics. Those students who wish to continue their education in graduate school in the domain of agricultural economics will be well prepared to do so. Collaboration between the College of Business and the College of Agriculture, Biotechnology, and Natural Resources allows students the unique ability to obtain both a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Science and a Bachelor of Arts in Economics within a four-year track.
Employers tell us about their workforce development needs, and how important experiential education is. All our incoming students are now required to have a structured internship, independent research, entrepreneurial activity, or education abroad experience before they graduate. This exposure to real-world business has given our students a wonderful head-start in the workplace and an appreciation for the applied aspects of research for those who choose to continue in an academic career.
