Agribusiness

There are two options available under our Agribusiness Degree: Agribusiness Management and Veterinary Business Management.

Agribusiness Management Option

For students interested in farm, food, or small business management, the agribusiness management option offers students a chance to learn the ins and outs of the largest industry in the world – the food and fiber industry. Students will gain skills necessary to become industry leaders in careers such as management, lending, and analytics. This option allows students to develop expertise in agricultural finance, management, marketing, and agricultural price risk management. Job opportunities with this major option are expanding rapidly as the agricultural sector expands to meet rapidly growing food demand and biofuel production.

Courses in this option include Food and Fiber Microeconomics, Accounting, Statistics, Agricultural Policy, Small Business Management, Marketing Agricultural Products, Agricultural Financial Management, and Agricultural Futures and Options.

For students entering in 2023, Virginia Tech will exclusively use the Common App for first-year and transfer applications. While we remain a Coalition member, we have paused the Coalition application for one cycle to provide ample time to adjust to the new application platform that Coalition will be using.
