Program details
Overview
The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness develops understanding of agricultural economics, including finance, trade, and human resources, with particular emphasis on the marketing and distribution of food and agri-products. The program runs four years (120 credit hours) and includes a Cooperative Education option connecting classroom learning with paid work experience for credit. Sample coursework covers the economics of food policy, an introduction to agri-food systems, agricultural human resource management, environmental economics, commodity futures markets, financial risk management, and agricultural and food marketing. Students may add a minor from a range of options including Agronomy, Animal Systems, Crop Protection, Entomology, Food Science, Human Nutrition and Metabolism, Plant Biotechnology, and Soil Science, or from other faculties. Graduates meet the entry requirements to become Professional Agrologists through Agrologists Manitoba. Admission follows direct entry for recent high school graduates or advanced entry for applicants with 24 or more completed post-secondary credits, though meeting minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance. The program suits students aiming for careers in international business analysis, commercial management, sales and marketing, agricultural policy, human resources, or accounting and finance within the agriculture and food sector.

Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
