Student Information

The Soil & Land Resources emphasis area is offered for students who are interested in businesses, industries, and government agencies associated with soils and farm chemicals, as professional soil scientists working with the formation, classification, chemistry, physics, and fertility of valuable soil resources, or as environmental scientists in conserving or improving soil and water quality.  Courses in geology, botany, chemistry and physics, in addition to soils, are stressed.


 

 

"Last summer I worked in the Soil Chemistry & Biology lab on a project involving selenium speciation in mine run-off.  This internship was actually paid employment and just shows how amazing the Department of Plant, Soil & Entomological Sciences is to be a part of.  When I finish my degree in Soils I hope to work with people in third-world countries to maintain sustainable farming practices to produce food in a manner that improves the quality of life for many people."
