The Soil Science department stands as a global pioneer in conducting landscape-level research through fieldwork. Our faculty engage in cutting-edge studies examining the health of both land and water ecosystems—bridging microscopic investigations (utilizing synchrotron technology for molecular-level analysis of fundamental processes) with practical environmental challenges. These span from landscape-scale examinations (exploring how soil composition, terrain features, and ecological variables influence ecosystem dynamics) to worldwide concerns (assessing how climate change affects prairie and arctic environments). Our graduate program delivers essential knowledge in soil and environmental sciences, with options for specialized research culminating in M.Sc. and Ph.D. qualifications.

A three-year first cycle undergraduate degree, in an academic discipline relevant to the proposed field of study, from an institution that meets the criteria set forth in the Bologna Declaration, will be acceptable as the equivalent of an undergraduate honours degree.
A cumulative weighted average of at least 70% (USask grade system equivalent) in the last two years of full-time study (e.g. 60 credit units USask equivalent).
