About the Agribusiness Leadership Program
UW offers two agribusiness leadership programs: a minor and a certificate. Current
students may declare an agribusiness minor, while working professionals and others
are encouraged to enroll in the agribusiness certificate program. Both programs are
fully online and designed to fit your busy schedule.
As part of one of our programs, you’ll take courses in agricultural finance, management
and marketing, in addition to other relevant leadership courses. Upon completion,
you’ll be ready to use your skills to advance your career in the agriculture industry!
Students may be required to take a math placement exam and/or complete ECON 1010 prior
to enrolling in the agribusiness leadership program. Contact your academic advisor
or an admissions counselor for additional information.

Agribusiness means the business side of farming and food production. It covers everything involved in getting food and agricultural products from the farm to your table, including farming itself. It also includes things like seed supply, equipment, food processing, packaging, marketing and distribution. Big farms, small family farms, companies that make tractors and even grocery store chains can all be part of agribusiness.
Leadership in agribusiness means guiding farms, food companies or agricultural organizations
toward success, not just by producing food, but by running the business well and sustainably.
A leader in agribusiness might:
- Make decisions about what crops to plant or what products to sell.
- Manage teams of workers, from farmhands to marketing staff.
- Adapt to changes like new technology, weather challenges or market demands.
- Build partnerships with suppliers, distributors and customers.
- Plan for the future by balancing profits with things like environmental sustainability and community needs.
