Master of Agribusiness

Launched in 1998, the Master of Agribusiness (MAB) program at Kansas State University was the first graduate agribusiness program in the nation to be offered through distance education.

The MAB program is an online business-focused master’s degree built around the busy lives of food, animal health and agribusiness professionals. The innovative online delivery of the program breaks down barriers associated with earning a master’s degree such as access to a university campus, job changes, relocations, and job-related travel. Our program is structured to appeal to professionals employed in all segments of the industry, and is geared toward adult learners.

Not an MBA in agribusiness, and not an M.S. in Agricultural Economics, but a professional degree program training managers for one of the most rapidly changing industries today.

The award-winning program has attracted more than 700 students from more than 40 states and 30 countries. The 42-credit-hour program is delivered executive-style over a 30-month period to a cohort of students. Students attend four one-week campus sessions on the Kansas State University campus over a 2 ½ year period, and complete the remainder of course work at a distance using the internet, flash drives, podcasts and interactive online classrooms.
