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.
