The Plant and Environmental Soil Science program is overseen by the Department of Soil and Crop Sciences. This curriculum equips students with fundamental scientific knowledge to study vital natural resources—plants, soils, and water—and their interactions across various environments. Core courses establish a multidisciplinary foundation, while electives allow customization to align with each student's interests and career aspirations.
Students pursuing this major can specialize in either crops or soil and water studies, depending on their professional objectives. The crops specialization explores production techniques, management strategies, marketing approaches, and applications for various agricultural products including fiber, forage, grains, biofuels, and oilseeds. Graduates with this focus may pursue careers in educational fields like consulting or extension services, or in agricultural production sectors such as biofuel manufacturing, seed production, farming operations, or agricultural management.
