Students transferring must complete: a minimum of 32 hours in residence at the University of Missouri; and at least 20 of the 32 hours of residence credits must be taken in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR), if no prior agriculture credit is transferred. While 18 hours of agriculture courses may be accepted for transfer credit, the transfer student must complete at least 20 hours of CAFNR courses.

If you plan to transfer into either of these majors, it is recommended that you complete all mathematics, statistics and accounting requirements before the junior year.

GPA Requirements

Students must have a 2.7 cumulative grade point average to transfer into agricultural economics or agribusiness management.
