Looking for a graduate program that will prepare you to be a leading decision-maker in the food system? Then the SUNY Morrisville Master of Science degree in food & agribusiness (FAB) is for you.
The FAB master's degree is a fully online, two-year program that prepares professionals for careers throughout the food system. FAB graduates are equipped with the tools to solve the tremendous challenges facing agribusinesses, the food system and society as a whole.
