The goal of the Biological and Agricultural Technology Management (BATM) is to produce graduates that use technology to solve problems. With the world population projected to exceed 9 billion by 2050, graduates from technology management majors like BATM will be key components in helping to provide citizens with healthy food, clean water, affordable energy, and a healthy environment. They will be managing the complex technologies used in agricultural and biological production and manufacturing systems. BATM graduates are practical problem solvers because of their hands-on training and their broad background in science, technology, and management. Graduates also acquire skills that are transferable to sectors that rely heavily on technology like automotive and manufacturing industries.
