Jeffrey Krautkraemer "Pay It Forward" Scholarship
The School of Economic Sciences offers a degree in Economics, as well as degrees in Agribusiness, Agricultural Economics and Management, Environmental and Economics and Management, and Economics. Economics is the study of the allocation of resources between competing and alternative uses. All of the degree options include the study of Macroeconomics, which analyzes the level of output and prices, inflation, and unemployment in the economy, and Microeconomics, which emphasizes how consumers make purchase decisions and how they use their time, and how firms make decisions on what to produce and who to employ. Both macroeconomics and microeconomics often deal with international issues. Application areas in the Economics degree include such topics as health care, sports, tax policy, financial markets, labor markets, and international marketing and trade. Agricultural Economics and Management deals with economic issues related to food and fiber supply and demand, and with the natural resource base and environmental concerns surrounding agricultural production and other needs of society. Applications to public decision-making and private decisions of farms, ranches and agribusinesses are considered. Agribusiness deals more specifically with the business management activities of firms which process and merchandise products to consumers and which provide inputs such as fertilizer and capital/credit to production agriculture. In Agricultural Economics and Management, students learn to use economic concepts along with technical production information to solve problems of farms, ranches, and related organizations. They also obtain knowledge and skills relevant to solving broader economic and social problems concerning the allocation of individual, firm and natural/social resources. Bank loan officer, agricultural sales representative, and commodity broker are sample careers. Environmental and resource economics and management applies economic and management decision tools to issues in forest management, water use, pollution, land use, fisheries, recycling, and hazardous wastes. Professionals in this field learn to make decisions that balance the considerations of protecting, restoring, developing, and allocating natural resources for the most benefits to society.
