Crop Management and Environmental, Soil, and Water Science. Areas studied within the crop management major include plant breeding and genetics, crop physiology, crop production and management, weed science, seed production technology, and soil fertility. Areas studied within the environmental, soil, and water science major include pesticide residues, soil chemistry, soil genesis and classification, soil microbiology, soil physics, environmental science and water science. Supporting education in the biological and physical sciences provides the basis for courses in crop management and environmental, soil, and water sciences. Employment opportunities and post-graduate studies are numerous for the graduate in crop management or environmental, soil, and water science.
Many graduates continue on to graduate school in a variety of disciplines.
Limnology Environmental Science courses transferred from Northwest Arkansas Community College, Westark and the University of Arkansas at Little Rock can be used to fulfill selected ESWS requirements. Consult an academic adviser to verify transfer applicability. AGRN 2103 and 2203 and at least two courses from group A for a total of 12 hours.
