The
Agricultural and Applied Economics program prepares students for
careers in agriculture, rural business,
international careers, and public agencies
with a strong foundation in economic decision-making principles.
We are a small department with a strong commitment by
staff and faculty to undergraduate education. Our faculty, staff,
and the
College of Agriculture as a whole have a reputation for
thoughtful mentoring of undergraduate students. A recent survey
conducted in our upper-division classes revealed that 88 percent of
students ranked our professors as the top strength in our
department.

Courses taught by this department
prepare students for exciting
career opportunities in multiple areas of industry and

Fifty percent of our students go on agricultural
related jobs (from farm and ranch to related agricultural
service businesses of all sorts), while 28 percent go on to
non-agricultural related jobs. The remainder work in firms
that do both agricultural and non-agricultural related work.
Many of our students also move into graduate or professional
degree programs. |
