This program equips students for careers in agricultural and natural ecosystems by teaching them to recognize, analyze, and responsibly manage soils for farming and forestry applications. Soil science graduates enjoy diverse career prospects, including positions with government organizations. Plant Sciences majors must fulfill college requirements involving roughly two years of foundational studies, complete specialized coursework in their chosen concentration, create an ePortfolio, and participate in a relevant experiential learning opportunity. Essential courses in biology, chemistry, statistics, and plant biology should be prioritized early, with transfer students advised to complete most prerequisites before enrolling at Cornell.
