Current Agricultural Economics Student Profiles
Agricultural Economics students are encouraged to take an active role in their education and that includes engaging in transformative experiences both inside and outside of the classroom. Below are handfuls of stories from our students - while some travel, others compete, many are leaders - and a quite a few do all of these things and more! If you want to find out what student life is all about in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue, take a few minutes and read about the experiences of our students. We hope that by reading them, you'll find your own inspiration. And, if any of these experiences interest you throughout your time at Purdue, reach out to your advisor for more information.
