Master of Science in Soil Science
Course Overview
This graduate program in Soil Science offers a comprehensive exploration of soils as dynamic natural systems and as critical media for plant growth and environmental processes. Located in a geographically rich region ideal for field study, the course allows students to specialize in physical, chemical, biological, or fertility aspects of the soil system through cutting-edge research.
Key Program Highlights
- Specialize in a core discipline: physical, chemical, biological, mineralogical, or fertility science
- Conduct research on pressing issues like water movement, pesticide transformation, and microbial ecology
- Learn from a prime location with exceptional access to diverse, natural soil bodies for field study
- Investigate sustainable agricultural practices including nutrient budgets, no-till management, and waste recycling
- Apply soil science interpretations to real-world challenges in land use, development, and environmental protection
