Managerial Economics

(College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences)

The Major Program

The major in managerial economics (formerly agricultural and managerial economics) teaches students to apply economics and quantitative principles to problems in agricultural production, management, marketing, finance, trade, futures and options, environment and development.

The Program. Each student must specialize in at least one of three options: agricultural economics, which focuses on topics related to the production and marketing of foods and fibers; environmental and resource economics, which focuses on issues related to use of resources and environmental quality; or managerial economics, which focuses on topics related to evaluating, financing, and managing business activities.

Internships and Career Alternatives. Students in managerial economics have opportunities to gain additional career information and preparation through internships in a variety of private business and governmental agencies. Graduates qualify for supervisory and management training positions in farm and ranch production, food and agricultural processing, agricultural sales and service, banking, finance, commodity and stock brokerages in the private sector, and a variety of agency career positions in local, state, and federal government. Students who desire additional training are well qualified to enter graduate programs in agricultural and resource economics, economics, business administration, or law.
