Bachelor of Science in Agronomy with Concentration in Agricultural and Environmental Soil Sciences

Program Overview

The Agricultural and Environmental Soil Sciences curriculum provides an educational foundation in soil processes involving physical, chemical and biological interrelationships. The soil resource is an integral component of our environment and is subject to loss and degradation through man's activities. Humanity's dependence on soil for food and fiber production and the need for ensuring environmental quality requires individuals trained in the management of this resource. Career opportunities exist both nationally and internationally in agricultural and environmental consulting, agribusiness, government agencies, teaching, and research. Required courses provide soil science training, while elective courses can be selected to meet specific needs. The Agricultural and Environmental Soil Sciences curriculum is in the Agronomy major.
