Plant the seed for a rewarding career.
Prepare for a business career in our nation’s largest industry with the SUNY Morrisville agriculture business Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree program.
Why SUNY Morrisville Agricultural Business?
One of every five jobs in the American economy is found in an agricultural or food-related career and our A.A.S. program gives you the technical and business skills you need to choose from a wide array of these job options, or to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
Ranging from production and management to finance and business, coursework is designed for anyone interested in obtaining an agriculturally oriented business education and will help you become an attractive recruitment candidate for internships with prominent New York agriculture businesses — which may ultimately lead to your first job offer after graduation.
You have the option to tailor your curriculum beyond a basic foundation of required courses. The marketing option consists of a strong core of agriculturally oriented and marketing courses, while the technology option provides a basic core of agribusiness courses as well as the opportunity for you to choose several courses in an agricultural technical area.
The transfer option provides a more generalized curriculum and is intended for students who wish to transfer into a bachelor’s degree program such as our Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A.) degree program in agricultural business development.
