Before You Choose
What studying it feels like
This major sits where equipment and farm operations meet. You’ll study how agricultural systems work, then use practical projects to make decisions about efficiency and the business behind production.
One thing to know
The work is not purely engineering or purely business, so look closely at the required courses before assuming which side dominates.
Ask yourself
- 1Do machinery and farm operations hold your attention at the same time?
- 2Would you rather solve production problems than specialize in one engineering discipline?
Longer-term context
$80,000
National median for U.S. graduates ages 35–45 · 2024
Agriculture. Group evidence, not a prediction for one student.
Pay source (opens in a new tab)Career preparation
