The agricultural economics program balances the theoretical and practical applications of agricultural economics to give students the best grasp on emerging issues facing professionals in food and agriculture today. Students earn a BS in agriculture with a major in agricultural economics.
The requirements for the first two years are virtually the same for all options in agricultural economics. Exceptions to those requirements are noted in the discussion of the farm management, specialty pre-law, specialty pre-vet, and natural resources quantitative option.
Designed to give an understanding of the roles a veterinarian plays—such as doctor, manager, and consultant—this specialty also prepares students with all the biological science requirements needed to apply to veterinary school.
Requirements for the first two years are much the same. Students take CHM 210-Chemistry I in place of CHM 110 General chemistry and CHM 111 General Chemistry Laboratory.
