The ARM option provides the opportunity for students to combine training in agribusiness economics with further knowledge about the technical aspects of agriculture and natural resources. This is achieved by developing a concentration of courses from the other units in the College of Agriculture, or by obtaining a minor in either Animal Science, Food and Nutrition or Plant and Soil Science.

This option may appeal to students with an interest in conservation, natural resource management, production agriculture and the industries closely linked to production agriculture.
