Master of Agriculture in Agribusiness

Oklahoma State University

The Master of Agriculture in Agribusiness degree is intended for students with a B.S. degree in a field other than agricultural economics such as animal science, agricultural communications, horticulture, or plant science. The program of study is more flexible than a typical MBA program and is directly related to agriculture. The Master of Agriculture degree is a non-research degree and does not prepare students for advanced study at the Ph.D. level. Students with a B.S. in agricultural economics or a related field or students who plan to pursue a Ph.D. should enroll under the Master of Science option.Two majors are available within the degree: The Agribusiness Major provides the economics and business training needed to enter a management position in agricultural or related industries. These include agricultural cooperatives, commodity merchandisers, banks, and farm consultants. The Agricultural Economics Major permits students to tailor the degree to specialties in natural resources, animal science, agricultural communications, horticulture, plant science or others.
