Get your agribusiness degree here! (Ag Careers & Universities).

Editor's Note: Time to re-think your career direction? Feel as if it's time to bolster your educational background in order to make yourself more marketable? Agri Marketing magazine has compiled a list of universities offering a master's degree in agribusiness management or agriculture economics.

We plan to have a supplement in our upcoming June issue, which will focus on the value of pursuing a career in the ag, food and fiber industries. In addition, a new careers Web site, located at www.CareersInAg.com, was just launched by Agri Marketing's parent company, Doane Agricultural Services.

We realize there are other schools with degree programs we may have missed. We apologize in advance, but please contact us and we will include those schools in the future.
