Abstract

S. Andrew Starbird raises some interesting questions and valid points regarding agribusiness management graduate programs. However, there are several additional issues that should be considered in this debate. In particular, we offer two counterpoints to those raised by Starbird. First, Starbird focuses primarily on supply issues and ignores demand for graduate agribusiness management programs. Second, we question the argument that private school adoption of graduate agribusiness management programs is a measure of program success or quality. Lastly, we believe the more important issue is how should graduate agribusiness management programs fit into traditional agricultural economics departments and the agricultural economics profession?
