The AREC degree emphasizes development and application of analytical skills to address economic issues in agriculture, natural resources, and rural communities.
Flexibility is provided to match program focus with student interest.
The degree prepares students for careers with federal, state, and local agencies, international groups, and private businesses plus graduate study. The ABM degree prepares students for the unique challenges and opportunities in agricultural business careers. Economic and business principles are combined and applied to farms and ranches, companies processing and marketing farm products, and companies supplying goods and services to farmers and other businesses. The curriculum combines skills in marketing, business management, accounting, and economic analysis with a technical minor from one of eight fields offered within the College of Agricultural Sciences. Two technical minors are available to ABM majors at Eastern Oregon University.
