Overview

The Food and Agribusiness Management M.B.A. at Purdue University offers a unique opportunity to earn two advanced degrees simultaneously through a partnership with Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business. This industry-focused programme allows professionals to maintain their careers while gaining expertise in both agricultural economics and strategic business management.

Why Food and Agribusiness Management at Purdue University?

This programme stands out as a "triple threat" by delivering a comprehensive curriculum from two world-class institutions. Students benefit from a blend of distance learning and five intensive one-week residencies held in Bloomington, West Lafayette, and an international location. These residencies foster deep networking and camaraderie within the cohort while addressing complex material best suited for face-to-face instruction.
