Agribusiness (Minor)

What is agribusiness?
In the agribusiness minor, you’ll be introduced to the economics and management of agricultural and other natural resource businesses. You’ll study marketing, accounting, land use, and policy. Combining this minor with a major such as business, environmental sciences, forestry or sustainable agriculture can prepare you for work in the public or private sector, including with governmental agencies and nonprofits.
Why study agribusiness at UNH?
You’ll work closely with faculty and will be encouraged to participate in research projects. Upon graduation, you’ll be qualified for a wide variety of opportunities within a growing field. Private business, public institutions and government agencies have been creating a demand for specialists trained in areas such as natural resource development, land- and water-use policy, natural resource and small business management, and agricultural, fisheries and forestry marketing.
