The Agribusiness Teaching Center (ATC) www.icare.am/atc was established in 2000 through the collaborative effort of the Armenian State Agrarian University (ASAU), Texas A&M University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Marketing Assistance Project (active in Armenia in 1992-2005). The ATC provides agribusiness education to achieve sustainable entrepreneurship in the food and agriculture sectors in Armenia and Georgia. It prepares agribusiness specialists with broad economic, marketing, and managerial views; up-to-date communication skills; and good knowledge of English language, which make the ATC graduates competitive in the growing Armenian and Georgian agribusiness sector.

The two-year and three-month curriculum is western-structured, based on the undergraduate degree agricultural economics curriculum of Texas A&M. Courses are taught in English by Armenian and American instructors.

Graduates receive a State Diploma from the Armenian State Agrarian University and a Certificate from Texas A&M.
