The Department of Agricultural Economics seeks to be nationally recognized as an outstanding academic unit that provides: a) research to expand economic knowledge that can be used by individuals, businesses, and public officials in decisions regarding allocation of resources for production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services related to agriculture and natural resources and improvement of standards of living in rural areas, b) extension educational programs that develop and deliver current relevant information to decision makers involved in these areas, and c) resident and nonresident instruction programs that provide students with thorough understanding of economic and business aspects of agriculture, food, natural resources, and rural economies and that lead to acquisition of problem-solving skills commensurate with B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees.
