Why SUNY Morrisville Food & Agribusiness?
Fully online and led by industry-experienced faculty, the rigorous two-year FAB M.S. program draws from agricultural economics, food marketing, supply chain management, organizational management, econometrics, agriculture and food regulation, and more — all tailored to the special problems that food businesses and markets face in a complex, interconnected food system.
