Agribusiness Education
Transfer Guide for Associate Degree
Agriculture is big business.
While farming contributes approximately 2 percent each to national output and
employment,
Agribusiness
employs
another 14 percent of the workforce and contributes 14 percent to GDP.
Agribusiness represents those entities that support the production sector by
providing inputs and services, or by assembling, processing, and distributing
products. This dynamic system has become increasingly interdependent and
complex, demanding from its participants not only highly refined technical
skills, but also an appreciation for and competencies in the areas of business,
economics, society, law and the environment.
Agribusiness Education
provides
the potential to develop a base of information and expertise in these areas and
thus enhance employment opportunities. Completion of 60-64 hours is required for an Associate Degree.
