The MAB provides students the knowledge and skills necessary for careers in a changing and complex agricultural economy. Students take courses in finance, public policy, management strategies, human resource management, risk management, international marketing, decision-making, and quantitative methods. The program 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 the students have the opportunity to put to use the skills learned in the program.
