The K-State MAB is the MBA for the Business of Agriculture

If agriculture is your career, your business education should be too.

Today's food, animal health, and agribusiness industries need leaders who understand both business and agriculture.

Kansas State University's Master of Agribusiness (MAB) is a graduate business degree designed specifically for professionals working across the food, animal health, and agriculture value chain. Students develop advanced skills in finance, economics, strategy, marketing, and leadership while applying what they learn to the real-world challenges facing agriculture.

Designed for working professionals, the MAB's flexible online format allows you to continue advancing your career while earning your degree. Whether you're managing a growing business, leading a team, or preparing for your next career opportunity, the MAB helps you build the business expertise needed to succeed in an increasingly complex global industry.

As the nation's first distance-delivered graduate agribusiness program, the MAB has been preparing agricultural leaders since 1998. Today, our award-winning program includes more than 700 students and alumni representing 40 states and more than 30 countries.

The 42-credit-hour program is completed over 30 months through a cohort model that combines primarily online coursework with four one-week campus sessions in Manhattan, Kansas, creating lasting professional relationships while maintaining the flexibility working professionals need. For international students entering in September, a 100% online option is also available.
