Our department focuses on the business and economics of agriculture and food with emphasis on areas such as marketing, finance, international trade, risk management, financial markets, resource economics and management , world food supply chains, and agricultural and food policy.
Food is life, and the world needs people who understand the business of getting it from seed to plate. That’s where a degree in agribusiness comes in.
We offer a four-year Bachelor of Science Agribusiness degree program and our courses also form part of the two-year Diploma in Agriculture program. Well recognized throughout Canada, our courses are grounded in solid academic learning, relevant industry partnerships and a vibrant Winnipeg-based agricultural community; everything you need to explore a wide-open world of opportunities.
The Department of Agribusiness and Agricultural Economics offers graduate instruction leading to an MSc degree. A doctorate is offered through the Department of Economics, Economics and Econometrics Stream, with a Research Specialization in Agricultural Economics.
Graduate training in agribusiness and agricultural economics enables students to develop competence in solving real world problems relating to food production, policy, risk management, marketing, finance, international trade, agribusiness management and resource management.
