Agriculture is rapidly evolving, driven by advanced technologies that are transforming how food, feed, fiber and fuel are produced. NDSU’s agricultural technology program prepares you to be at the forefront of this transformation by combining agricultural science with cutting-edge technology and real-world experience.
Matt Olhoft, an assistant professor of practice in agricultural technology, has seen firsthand how much the agriculture industry has changed during his 40 years in the field. As technology continues to evolve, so does the need for students with a well-rounded education.
“AgTech’s important because this is where we’re at in agriculture now. Everything we do is at a high level of technology, so we need people who understand global positioning systems, sensors and how to collect and analyze data in a timely fashion so it can be used,” Olhoft said.
NDSU’s agricultural technology program is one of the few offered in the region, making it an ideal option for students interested in creating innovative agricultural solutions.
“I chose agtech at NDSU because it was unlike any other program I have seen,” said Isaac Mauch, a junior in the AgTech program. “NDSU stood out. It is very advanced in Ag research the program itself is extensively developed. I was really confident in choosing NDSU.”
