The Food and Resource Economics Department is recruiting outstanding students for its one-year Master of Agribusiness program. The program, which begins in Summer B 2017 and ends Summer C 2018, is specifically designed for students from non-economic and non-business backgrounds, and blends business and economics with the applied science of agriculture, providing methods for solving real-world problems. It also includes a summer internship in which students have the opportunity to put to use the skills learned in the program.
