Student Demographics

MAB students and alumni come from all across the United States and 20 countries around the globe and are employed in all stages of the food and agribusiness sector. Our students and graduates are distributed almost equally through the agri-industries supply chain. Roughly equal amounts of students are employed in pre–farm gate, and post–farm gate first handler. A smaller group is employed in the food processing/retailing sector, education or government, or are producers. The concentration of knowledge and experience of our student population along the supply chain creates an ideal environment for learning, and keeps the classroom interesting and discussion focused on industry challenges.

“I enrolled in the K-State MAB program to expand my understanding of agriculture businesses around the world and also to have additional experience from the U.S.A. point of view, not only for the private sector companies, but also from the academic point of view. An MAB from Kansas State University is also a recognized degree in the South American markets that will open new opportunities in the business world.”

“The caliber of my fellow classmates and their own professional achievements as food and agribusiness professionals contributes greatly to the program and in my opinion, reflects the quality of the program itself. In addition to being intellectually stimulating and challenging, the coursework is extremely interactive in both its layout and delivery. The MAB professors have done an exceptional job balancing theory and practice through applied project work. This approach in combination with real world experiences from fellow students and faculty bring the classroom theory to life.”
