Extractions: Home Find a College Profiles Major: Soil Science This major often leads to the bachelor's degree. When he said that an army marches on its stomach, Napoleon captured in a few words the importance of food. However, food is only as good as the soil from which it grows. Majors in soil science learn the answers to questions like these: Which fertilizers work best for different fruits and vegetables? What types of soils do wheat and corn prefer? And which methods best control weeds? The answers can make or break farmers, and agronomists find great satisfaction doing their part in feeding the world.

Plant And Soil Science The Plant and soil science graduate program offers graduate work leading to the in doctoral programs in crop science, Plant Physiology or soil science, http://www.rgs.uky.edu/gs/bulletin/bullApr01/plntsoil.html
Extractions: Kirk Pomper. The Plant and Soil Science graduate program offers graduate work leading to the Master of Science degree. This interdisciplinary program is jointly administered by faculty from the Departments of Agronomy and Horticulture. Most of the graduate faculty in Plant and Soil Science also participate in doctoral programs in Crop Science, Plant Physiology or Soil Science, which are separately listed. The program is designed to allow students to specialize in one of the diverse aspects of plant/soil systems; specialization areas include: Crop Science, Horticultural Science, Plant Physiology and Soil Science. The curriculum will accommodate the needs of students directed either towards further doctoral work and research careers, or towards post-M.S. employment in horticultural, crops or soils related professions. Plan A requires the completion of 24 hours of graduate course work and submission of an approved thesis. Plan B substitutes an additional six hours of graduate credit for the thesis requirement. The core curriculum consists of disciplinary as well as basic science/research methods courses. Plan A requires twelve hours of designated core course work, (Plan B, fifteen hours) of which at least three-quarters must be at the 600-level or above, distributed in the following manner:

Extractions: Course Listing: Soil and Water Conservation Concentration The Agronomy program at SUNY Cobleskill emphasizes study in two basic areas - Crop Production and Soil and Water Conservation. Students who choose to major in Agronomy at Cobleskill take a two-year course of study that prepares them for employment in private industry or public service. Students may elect to continue their education after receiving an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree by enrolling in a Bachelor of Technology (BT) degree in Agriculture with a concentration in Plant Science. Students taking courses in the Agronomy program are exposed to up-to-date information presented by faculty who are highly trained and well educated. The Cobleskill philosophy is to produce graduates with "hands-on" experiences who are competent and successful in the field of agriculture after graduation. Over 98 percent of the Agronomy graduates find employment in their chosen area or continue their education. The courses taken by Agronomy students depends on whether they are concentrating in Soil and Water Conservation, Crop Production, or Agricultural Science. The lists below show the required courses for each concentration. In addition, students must also take courses in Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as unrestricted elective courses.
