Agricultural Systems Management: Data and Information Systems, BS

The Data and Information Systems concentration supports the growing data and information need in agriculture and is structured so that students can readily obtain the Computer and Information Systems minor. Industry is seeking graduates who understand cropping and animal agriculture; they also wish they had stronger information technology skills such as programming, app development, and data handling. This concentration addresses this need and complements the facility and equipment technology focus of the ASM major. Students will still also get the Food and Agribusiness Management Minor. Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) prepares individuals to organize and manage environmentally sound, technology-based businesses. The program’s emphasis is on planning and directing an industry or business project with responsibility for results. ASM is based on an understanding of how equipment and buildings are used with plants and animals and their products. These processes require an understanding of the biological sciences to produce and maintain top product quality.
