The Intercollegiate Faculty of Agribusiness (IFA) was originally created to provide administrative leadership to the Master of Agribusiness degree program established in Fall 1999. The Master of Agribusiness program is administered through a Program Director, Executive Committee, and the Intercollegiate Faculty.
Recently, responsibilities of this Faculty have been expanded to include administration of a Ph.D. in Agribusiness and Managerial Economics which became official in Fall 2008.
Current members of the Intercollegiate Faculty of Agribusiness are:
