The Bachelor of Science in Agribusiness degree program combines core agricultural discipline like Crop Science, Animal Science, and Agricultural Economics with business courses in Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Law, and Management to provide students a solid orientation in the business of agriculture.

Students also take introductory courses in computer programming and agricultural engineering as well as an elective course in food processing, aquaculture, and agribusiness geographic or communication strategies to further strengthen their academic foundation.

Bachelor of Science in Food Technology is a four-year program that conducts training programs for rural communities, entrepreneurs, and trainees from academic, private, and government agencies.

Food Technology is the science of food because it is the systematic study of the composition, structure, and properties of food and their relationships, engineering of food because it is the application of scientific principles to practical ends such as design, construction, and operation of efficient and economic structures, equipment, and systems, and business management of food because a volume of commercial trade is handled, directed, or controlled. It links agricultural production to food marketing, distribution, and human nutrition.

The program is a five-year course with a licensure examination for agricultural engineers to practice their profession.

Objectives

• To educate the students in the application of engineering principles to agriculture particularly in the solution of problems related to agro-industrial development;
• To prepare them to become professionals with entry-level competencies;
• To develop the processes and techniques of identifying, diagnosing, analyzing, and relating problems in planning, designing, constructing tools, equipment implements and machines, management of agricultural engineering systems and extension in increasing land, labor, and capital productivity.

Electrical Engineering is a profession that deals with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electricity. It is the science of developing, applying, and controlling the electrical and related phenomena of nature for the benefit of mankind notably in the field of light, heat, power, sustainable alternative sources of energy and environment, communication, and transportation.

Thus, consistent with these goals, the XU EE program is geared towards producing graduates, who, within three to five years from graduation, have:

• (Competence) Become competent and engaged electrical engineering professionals who are proficient in the practice of the    profession using a systems perspective to analyze, design, develop, optimize and implement complex electrical systems to solve real-world problems within the appropriate technological, global, societal, ethical and organizational context.
• (Competence) Manifested professional growth and career advancement through satisfactory progress towards positions of higher responsibility, completion of an advanced degree, or by successful transition from the "traditional" electrical engineering career path into the allied fields of business, government, academe, etc.
• (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Worked as effective, conscientious and committed team members or leaders who embody ethical and professional excellence rooted in Jesuit liberal education and Christian humanism. They have equipped with excellent communication and people skills and are actively participating in their community, church and professional organizations.
• (Competence, Conscience, Commitment) Become significant contributors to society by producing designs and solutions that are safe and sustainable. Being men and women for others, the XU EE graduates discern, decide and do what is right and strive for truth and will seek to support others, especially in the context of widespread poverty in the country.
• (Competence, Commitment) Embraced active life-long purpose of advancing their expertise by continuing professional education, attaining advanced degrees or furthering research activities that tackle on critical areas of the chosen field of expertise.
