Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Operations Management

Agricultural Operations Management combines hands-on applied coursework and core business principles with emerging technologies and sustainable methods. Students gain experience in systems management, environmental quality, energy efficiency, agricultural machinery, GIS/GPS technology, remote sensing, irrigation, power systems, water control, and precision agriculture.
Students in the Agricultural Operations Management (AOM) program gain technical experience in systems management, environmental quality, energy efficiency, agricultural machinery, GIS/GPS remote sensing, computer programs, irrigation, power systems, water control, and precision agriculture. Through interdisciplinary, holistic training in agricultural, natural systems, and business management, AOM students can identify systems problems, formulate potential solutions, evaluate the impact of alternatives, and then implement a best solution.

The curriculum supports students who plan to seek career opportunities in commercial business operations and management. In addition to hands-on applied skills, students also take courses in economics, accounting, business, finance, sales, and business management.

AOM graduates have an abundance of job opportunities. The program provides a solid foundation for managing technical assets, infrastructure, money, and personnel. Graduates can become an integral part of profitable operations of many types of businesses such as production agriculture (e.g., crop management), commercial nurseries, building construction and materials, cattle operations, food processing, and regulatory agencies.

A major strength of the AOM program is its small class sizes. Students benefit from engaging discussions in a welcoming environment, interacting with and getting to know professors, and connecting with classmates through hands-on labs, projects, activities, and club functions.
