Animal Health Option

The Master of Agribusiness is a flexible, online business-focused graduate degree for animal health and companion animal professionals.

In addition to the traditional courses you would find in an MBA program such as finance and management, the Master of Agribusiness offers an animal health option with course: sales and marketing and a global animal health industry elective to further customize the curriculum for the student. This will enhance students' management and strategic skills to help them deal with the challenges of the rapidly changing environment within the animal health industry.

Students can choose to start in fall with the two, one-week on-campus sessions of the program held at K-State Olathe in September and November of each year, or start in spring with campus sessions in January and March at the K-State Campus in Manhattan, KS.

If you are not ready for a full master’s degree, we also have an Animal Health Management Certificate option. The 20-hour certificate provides a series of courses and experiences that will equip animal health professionals to make better economic decisions for their companies and practices.
