North Dakota State University's MBA in Agribusiness is a specialized professional program tailored for aspiring and established leaders in the agricultural business sector. This non-thesis degree bridges business principles with agricultural expertise, leveraging the combined strengths of the College of Business and the Department of Agribusiness and Applied Economics. Designed for both full-time students and working professionals, the program equips agribusiness managers with decision-making skills tailored to industry-specific challenges such as:
weather-related production fluctuations and biological factors
supply chain interruptions
seasonal variations in production and demand
extended investment and production timelines
relationships with government entities, financial organizations, and other stakeholders
Beyond these specialized topics, the curriculum delivers comprehensive business training with a focus on real-world agribusiness management. Program graduates develop strong general management capabilities coupled with specialized expertise in agricultural business operations.
The degree requires completion of 26-27 core credit hours plus 4-6 elective credits, totaling 30-33 credits for graduation.
