Graduates may pursue a number of attractive career opportunities. Agricultural Business Management (ABM) majors may move directly into professional jobs with agribusiness firms, financial and insurance institutions, or manage their own agribusinesses. Opportunities also exist for ABM majors to pursue graduate studies in food and agricultural management, agricultural cooperatives, and sustainable development. Environmental Economics and Policy (EEP) students can serve effectively as members of interdisciplinary teams involved in resource and environmental management, planning, and policy analysis. Government job opportunities include management, planning, and analysis positions with federal, state, and local government agencies. Private company opportunities include similar positions with utility companies, banks, consulting firms, and resource management companies. The EEP degree also provides an excellent foundation for graduate work in economics, as well as law, public policy, and urban planning.
