Agriculture is big business and big opportunities
This is a partnership degree, where the first two years are completed at a regional community college under an articulation agreement and the second two years for the Bachelor of Science degree are completed at Quincy University. The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness degree combines theoretical and practical knowledge in the various areas of agriculture with business skills.
“Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals, and happiness.” – Thomas Jefferson
