Agricultural Systems Management
The Agricultural Systems Management program emphasizes engineering technology and the management of physical and biological systems for
agricultural production, handling and processing of agricultural commodities, and maintaining environmental quality. Agricultural Systems
Management is the application of biological, physical, mechanical, and business knowledge to support and manage agricultural production systems,
product processing systems, and related industries.
ASM graduates manage people, money, and machines. They excel at management, marketing, and customer service by applying their knowledge of
agri-production and agri-processing technology, business management, communications and computer skills. Positions filled by ASM graduates are
those that bridge the gap between engineers and the users of engineered systems. The program is designed for students whose interests lie in the
application, operation, and management of the equipment (power & machinery), natural resources (soil & water), or commodity handling and
processing elements of the agricultural industry. You will have the skills necessary to manage people, money, technology, environmental resources
and machines efficiently and competitively in a private or public environment.
As a student of the Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) degree program at the University of Idaho, you may select one of the four specialty
options in ASM listed on the right. These provide you the opportunity to select a course of study suited to your particular career goal.
