This program prepares students for positions in
site specific agricultural management, sustainable development,
and related technological applications in today's agribusiness
operations. Positions such as integrated pest management
technologists, custom applicators, technology resource managers,
crop advisory specialists, and dealer consultants are some of
the newly-evolving careers in this exploding technology field.
Emphasis on the geospatial computer technologies of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS)
as well as remote sensing will be stressed. In addition, State
Department of Agriculture pesticide re-certification credits are
available upon successful completion of specific courses within
this program. The National Science Foundation has selected this
