The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Economics, specializing in Policy and Economic Analysis, helps students build expertise in economic theory and quantitative methods to evaluate and discuss agricultural policies and economic challenges at local, national, and global levels. This specialization provides analytical tools to examine government involvement in agriculture, the connections between U.S. agriculture, agribusiness, political systems, public administration, and interest group dynamics. Students enhance their learning through high-impact experiences like the ANRP Congressional Internship, Texas State Government Internships, commodity group and lobbying internships, study abroad programs, and independent research. With guidance from faculty advisors, students tailor their coursework to align with their career aspirations by selecting advanced electives beyond the department. Those pursuing graduate studies can strengthen their knowledge in quantitative analysis, economic theory, and applied economics. Future law students may emphasize legal studies, political science, and technical writing, while those aiming for government or policy careers can focus on policy analysis, political science, and management courses.
