About the Program
Combine a passion for growing crops or raising animals with the skills needed to run a family business, startup or global conglomerate.

You'll receive a comprehensive foundation in agribusiness management, covering essential areas such as accounting, marketing, retailing, wholesaling, personnel management, and food laws and regulations. Gain the expertise needed to navigate the legal and ethical principles of the industry and tailor your education to your career goals.
The Polytechnic Approach
