Bachelor of Science - Agriculture - Plant and Soil Sciences - Soil & Water Resources (BSAG)

Plant and soil sciences graduates are crucial to meeting society’s need for food, livestock feed, fiber and fuel through the conservation and management of plant and soil resources.

Plant and soil sciences majors' learning experience will include field-based classes, numerous laboratory experiments, non-traditional classroom settings and hands-on learning. Students can work alongside faculty in areas such as biotechnology, crop production, environmental remediation, plant breeding and genetics, plant physiology, soil chemistry, soil nutrient management, soil physics, water quality and weed science.

The soil and water resource option is for students interested in how applications of soil science can improve crop production, environmental quality and engineering. Students will take courses directed toward a changing environment and how crop production can be adapted with the changing availability of different resources.
