Your Agribusiness Curriculum is more than just a list of classes; at Delaware Valley College, you'll be encouraged to become involved with the social, economic, political and technological changes taking place in the world.
For the most out of the program, we advise students to select minor, specialization or elective courses that focus on their area of personal or professional interests.
A student interested in Supply and Service, for example, may want to consider taking a few courses within the
Natural Resources and Biosystems Management or
Food Science programs, while a student pursuing Marketing and Management may want to consider
Accounting, Financial Services, Management Information Systems or Marketing.
The total number of credits required for graduation with a degree in Agribusiness is 130, plus 4 credits earned for successful completion of the Employment Program.
