BS Agricultural Economics in Agricultural Business and Economics

Agricultural educators have the opportunity to teach others the skills and competencies needed to be agriculturally literate while also developing leadership abilities in their students. Agricultural educators combine classroom and laboratory instruction, leadership development and experiential learning to offer their students a well-rounded education that will prepare them for college and the workforce, as well as teach them how to be educated consumers. Through the implementation of school-based agricultural education, teachers have the potential to build human capacity at the local, state and national level. Agricultural education is the only degree program providing a clear path to certification of school-based agricultural education teachers. However, an agricultural education degree prepares graduates for a variety of careers.
