About the Program
The Data and Information Systems concentration supports the growing data and information need in agriculture and is structured so that students can readily obtain the Computer and Information Systems minor. Industry is seeking graduates who understand cropping and animal agriculture; they also wish they had stronger information technology skills such as programming, app development, and data handling. This concentration addresses this need and complements the facility and equipment technology focus of the ASM major.

The ♦ course is considered critical. In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.” Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion.
