B.S. Degree
with a Major in Agribusiness
A major in Agribusiness is available for students with more specific interests in agricultural business. While retaining a strong agricultural foundation, this major also permits the student to take a core of business and economics courses.
A major in Agribusiness is achieved by completion of the following courses, in addition to the General Education and electives required for a degree:
Required Core Courses— ANR 106, 110, 130, 170, and 375; two (2) courses chosen from ANR 310, 340, and 360; and either of the following two options: A) ANR 494 (noncredit), plus one ANR elective courses at the 300 level or higher, or B) ANR 395/495 (for credit)
Required Collateral Courses—ECO 102; BUS 120, 130, and 363; complete or waive MAT 115; one of the following three options: A) CHM 131 and CHM 221, B) CHM 134 and CHM 221, or C) CHM 113
Required Capstone Course—ANR 492 (1/2 credit)
Exploring the Major—Students considering this major should enroll in and complete ANR 106 (Fall Term), ANR 110 (Fall Term), and ANR 130 (Spring Term), preferably all during their first year.
Admission to the Major—No additional or special curricular requirements must be met for admission into the major.
Course Sequencing Considerations (in order to complete
degree requirements within eight terms)—ANR 110 and 130 are prerequisites for several more advanced classes and should be completed by the end of the first year. MAT 115 also should be completed or waived by the end of the first year. ANR 170 or ECO 102 and CHM requirements should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Students should take at least one 300-level ANR course in the Fall Term of the sophomore year. ANR 494 should be taken prior to senior year. ANR 492 (capstone) must be taken in the Fall Term of senior year.
Other Considerations—Students planning to attend graduate school to study Agribusiness should consider taking BUS 240, BUS 366, ECO 250, and MAT 135. Students also must satisfy departmental standards for effectiveness in written and oral communication.
