Curricula

The Department of Soil and Crop Sciences offers two undergraduate degrees. We teach a wide range of topics to demonstrate how important soil and crops are to feeding and clothing people worldwide and the impact of turfgrass on our society.

The B.S. degree in Plant and Environmental Soil Sciences (PSSC) prepares students for careers in agronomy, soil science, agricultural research, crop consulting, soil and water conservation, sales, food security, environmental sustainability, water quality and plant breeding. The B.S. degree in Turfgrass Science (TGSC) prepares students for golf course and sports field management. A number of our students eventually pursue graduate and professional degrees.
