Why Choose Agricultural Technology Management?

"I chose agricultural technology management because it allows great flexibility with other areas of interest and the chance to work with great faculty here at K-State. I'll have a wide array of career choices."

-Casey Mattke Ogallah, Kansas Agricultural Technology Management

Agricultural technology management (ATM) prepares students for careers that require an understanding of both technology and management. The goal of the Agricultural Technology Management program is to educate technology managers who possess an understanding of agriculture and biological sciences and the problem-solving capabilities of an engineer. The curriculum is intended for students who want a broader education than is provided by the engineering curriculum, but who do not desire the analytical focus necessary for an engineering degree.

Our graduates know how to solve real world problems but also know how to manage the business effectively. The Agricultural Technology Management program is not as "math intensive" as engineering, but students still learn about the technical concepts and how to apply them. The program combines applied engineering technologies, agricultural and biological sciences, and business management.
