Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness

Agribusiness sits at the intersection of farming, commerce, and management. This degree prepares you to run or support agricultural enterprises, from small farms to large food companies. At Central University, the programme is offered within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, giving it a strong grounding in both economic thinking and practical business skills.

What agribusiness studies actually involve

Programmes of this kind typically blend agricultural science with business management. You study how food is produced, processed, and brought to market, and you learn the financial, marketing, and logistics skills needed to make that chain work efficiently. Expect to cover topics like supply chain management, agribusiness finance, rural development, and agricultural policy, along with practical fieldwork.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry into this programme is less competitive than many other degree courses. That means it is more accessible if your WASSCE grades are modest, but you still need to meet the basic requirements for a degree at Central University. Check the university's official admissions page to see exactly which subjects and grades are needed for this programme.

Where agribusiness can take you

Most graduates go into roles where they connect agriculture with markets and money. You could work for a farming company, a food processor, a bank that lends to farmers, or a government agency supporting agriculture. The skills you build are also useful for starting your own agribusiness, whether in production, processing, or trading.
