Agribusiness Emphasis Program

The College of Business at the University of West Alabama and the College of Agriculture at Auburn University have established a plan whereby an undergraduate student may attend the University of West Alabama for approximately two years, then as a transient student during his/her junior year, complete an Agribusiness emphasis at Auburn University. Upon completion of the Agribusiness emphasis, the student will be required to return to the University of West Alabama to complete the BBA requirements. After completing the academic requirements of the two cooperating institutions, the student will be awarded a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Management with an Agribusiness emphasis from the University of West Alabama.

Auburn University will accept UWA students enrolled in good standing in this program as transients, and work with them in building the Agribusiness emphasis. Cooperating students will attend Auburn University, in residency, during the Fall and Spring semesters of their junior year and complete coursework in the Agribusiness area as approved by the Dean of the College of Agriculture. The student must meet all graduation requirements at the University of West Alabama. In order to enter the Agribusiness emphasis at Auburn University a student must have (a) a recommendation from his/her department chairperson at the University of West Alabama; (b) a 2.0 grade point average; and (c) satisfy the admission requirement for the College of Agriculture at Auburn University.
