Purdue University's Master of Science in Agricultural Economics offers two primary tracks: a research-oriented traditional thesis track and a professional (non-thesis) MS in International Agribusiness (available on campus or online). The traditional track focuses on quantitative research methods, economic theory, and prepares students for academic careers or advanced study, while the professional track emphasizes applied management and quantitative skills for careers in international food and agribusiness sectors. Students can specialize in areas such as agribusiness management, policy, development, or applied economics. Graduates acquire strong analytics and decision-making skills for roles in industry, government, or academia. 来源： https://ag.purdue.edu/department/agecon/international-programs/pmia/online.html
