Common core courses

No matter the stream you choose, you'll start with exactly the same courses in your first semester.

You'll learn more about the many opportunities in agribusiness. This insight will help you confirm your stream choice, or maybe take you in a different direction within agribusiness. It's some built-in flexibility for you.

You will have more core courses, but from the second semester you'll focus on your stream.

That extends to your choice between an agribusiness practicum or business management and case analysis project.

The complete course list for each stream is below.

Note: Some course codes, numbers and descriptions aren't available yet. They will be posted when approved. In the interim, course titles have been added.
