Crop and Soil Sciences
The bachelor of science degree in crop and soil sciences offers three concentrations: agronomic sciences, turfgrass management and advanced studies. Agronomists improve crop production in sustainable systems all over the world while protecting soil and water resources. The study of turfgrass management is ideal for those who enjoy being outdoors and working hands on to improve the performance of turfgrass.
Students combine fundamental disciplines in physical science, biological science and environmental science with crop production and business operations and gain hands-on experience through state-of-the-art labs on campus.
