Graduate study in SASSA brings together two strengths of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln: rigorous economic analysis in Agricultural Economics and people-centered scholarship in Agricultural Leadership, Education and Communication.

You'll also join a community that understands how agriculture, food systems, natural resources, and people are connected.
