The Agricultural Economics concentration focuses on the theoretical and analytic tools of applied economics and provides students with the skills necessary to apply these principles in applied settings such as water, recreation, environmental economics, in industry and business, marketing, production, or government. This program is more quantitative in nature and best prepares students interested in graduate study.
