Overview

About the Program

The Agricultural Systems Management program at California Polytechnic State University prepares you to understand, design and operate the technological and physical systems used in modern agriculture, including energy and power systems, water management tools, mechanical and electrical systems, robotics and more.

You will be immersed in laboratory-intensive classes that will hone your problem-solving skills and provide you with the necessary tools and opportunities to learn to build what you design. All areas culminate in a senior project to demonstrate your ability to manage advanced technologies and engineer solutions to the problems of resources and systems.

Learn By Doing

Agricultural systems management classes are taught by faculty members who are internationally recognized as world-class experts in their fields and not afraid to get their hands dirty. Your labs will take you out of the classroom and into the field using the most up-to-date technology in the department’s expansive outdoor and indoor facilities. Whether it be modernizing an irrigation district or building autonomous planters, you will be given opportunities to observe developing projects and solve real-life problems.

Career

Agricultural systems management graduates are in high demand across California and around the world.

Many go on to work as water specialists, project managers, construction managers and agricultural operations and commodities at companies such as JG Boswell, Foster Farms, Granite Construction and G3 Enterprises.
