Program overview

What McNeese State University says about their program:

Agricultural sciences is a broad term that encompasses a variety of areas related to agriculture, including farming, ranching, the transportation and business of agriculture, raising and caring for livestock, pre-veterinary medicine, and even human nutrition. With such a broad range of study, agricultural sciences provides a versatile field of study that makes it easy to cross from one career to another, while still giving students the freedom to specialize in what they’re passionate about: crop science, animal science, or nutritional science.

With a concentration in agribusiness, you'll learn the business and management side of agricultural and food industries, including production, distribution and processing, supply and breeding, farm machinery and more.
