Agribusiness
Everything has a business side, and that includes agriculture. Agriculture is more than just the family farm. It touches every part of the food supply chain, from the field to the dinner table. It plays a major role in other industries, like apparel and furniture manufacturing. Many of our business students’ careers will touch one or more of these industries–sales, financing, marketing products and services, and accounting.
