Career Opportunities for AG SC Graduates:

Preparation in this major provides you with a variety of career options. Many agri-industrial firms want graduates who have combined a general knowledge of agriculture with the discipline and incentive four years of college help develop. Jobs in personnel, sales, management, and public relations are possibilities. Agriculture-related businesses need field personnel with training in general agriculture.

Many graduates find employment in positions with the Cooperative Extension Service, Soil Conservation Service, and U.S. Department of Agriculture. Many return to the family farm to become a partner or owner of the farm enterprise.

Perhaps you will choose to combine the general agriculture background from this major with journalism for a career in agricultural communications. A combination of agriculture and government, or languages, or education, or one of the many other fields might lead to a career with private firms in international trade and marketing, or in government organizations with world-wide responsibilities.
