Starting this fall, Louisiana State University at Alexandria (LSUA) will offer a 24-credit hour Agribusiness concentration within their Bachelor of Science in Business Administration program. The Dean of the LSUA College of Business, Dr. Randall Dupont, is eager to double down on Cenla’s prominent role in the national and global commodities markets.
“If you take a look at central Louisiana, we’re really the breadbasket of the state,” Dupont said. “We’re going to focus on the business side of it.”
Students obtaining the concentration will complete four agribusiness courses focusing on industry finance, natural resource economics, business planning, and commodity marketing near the end of their 4-year degree.
