Agribusiness & Food Industry Management, B.S.

We prepare students to assume leadership positions in the management, marketing, and production of agricultural products from field to plate.

Our curriculum provides students an understanding of business functions in application, theory, and practice as they relate to the agriculture industry.

The degree requirements break down into several areas:

• Major requirements: These cover the fundamentals of agribusiness management. Courses include agribusiness accounting, marketing, retailing, and wholesaling to personnel and data management, food laws and regulations, and legal and ethical principles. The curriculum sheet will have the full list for the major. The university catalog will have course descriptions.
• Major electives: Students should consult their advisors to determine what courses to take.
• General Education (GE) requirements: Students should consult their Degree Progress Report (DPR) for information regarding these requirements. Unless your major requires specific GE courses, you should refer to the list of approved GE courses in the University Catalog.
• The Graduate Writing Test is suspended until Fall 2025. Students entering Cal Poly Pomona before Fall 2025 are not required to take it.

If you have any questions, contact your academic advisor and make an appointment. Drop-in hours are also available, both in-person and virtually. Faculty mentors and student peer advisors can also assist. Visit the academic advising link for more information about these resources.
