The Master of Agribusiness (M.A.B.) pragmatically combines applied economics and business training—all set in the context of preparing students for a successful career in agribusiness. The M.A.B. allows students in the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences, once admitted to the Master of Agribusiness program, to enroll in up to six hours of courses at the graduate level that would also count toward their undergraduate degree.

Courses that can count for the Master of Agribusiness degree and for the B.S. in Plant and Soil Science (as hours of “approved electives”):

PSS 4314 - Horticultural Management and Entrepreneurship  / PSS 5317 - Management and Entrepreneurship of Horticultural Operations   

PSS 4316 - Landscape Water Conservation and Ecology  / PSS 5318 - Advanced Turfgrass Physiology and Ecology

The Master of Agribusiness Degree Program requires a total of 36 credit hours.

The four-semester program includes one semester where students will be accomplishing a paid internship at a targeted company to fit their future career goals. An overview of the program can be found on the Master of Agribusiness Program webpage.

The program was also listed as the #1 online master’s degree in agricultural business in 2020 on Best College Reviews.
