Agricultural Economics
Agricultural Business Minor
This minor field of study is principally
designed for agricultural science and busi~
ness majors. Those students majoring in
animal, plant, and food sciences may
seek to complement their technical knowledge
with competencies in agricultural
business for professional advancement.
Students majoring in one of the business
degree options may anticipate staying in
the San joaquin Valley where they will
most likely become involved with and
require an understanding of the agricultural
sector as employees, clients, or customers
of agribusiness firms. The minor
also provides a foundation for graduate
study in agricultural business or agricultural
economics.
You should consult with your faculty
advisor in the Agricultural Economics
Department to plan your program. The
advisor and the department chair must
approve the minor program of study before
it can be certified by the school dean,
filed with the Office of Evaluations, and
recorded on your transcript.
The minor consists of 24 units, of which
equivalent courses are acceptable for 12
units.

Advising Notes
1. University policy states that courses fulfilling
requirements for a minor may
be counted toward General Education
(e.g., Ag Ec 1 or Econ 40 in BREADTH
Division 8; Ag Ec 150 in CAPSTONE).
2. The department waives the CORE requirements
of Ag Ec 1, 31, 130, and
120 for students who have already
received credit for Econ 40, Acct 4A,
106
Fin 120, and Mgt 104 or 110 respectively.
Such course waivers correspondingly
reduce the unit requirement
for the minor from the maximum of
24 to a possible 12 - the minimum
allowable under the Title 5 code. This
adjusbnent accommodates the university
policy that "courses in a major
cannot be applied toward a minor
unless designated as 'additional requirements'
to the major. II
3. Concerning the course selections to
satisfy the production operations core
requirement and the focus elective,
consult with the minor advisor about
which choices match your career plans.
4. All courses in the minor must be taken
for a letter grade; CR/NC grading is not
acceptable.
S. Successful completion of this minor
requires a 2.0GPA for all courses in the
program and for all courses taken at
California State University, Fresno.
Notice of Discontinuance
The Master of Science degree program in
Agricultural Business has been discontinued.
Students interested in the agricultural
business elective area under
the Master of Business Administration
program should contact the Graduate
Business Office at (209) 278-2107.
Note: Active immunization against tetanus
(available through ShIdent Health
SerVices) is a prerequisite for registration
in any laboratory course in agriculture
and for any student employment on the
University Farm.
Note: Cost to the student of extended
field trips will vary each semester depending
upon itinerary. The shIdent should
ask the course instructor.
