In Soil Science, students study soils as they exist on the landscape. The major emphasizes the soil as a natural body that influences the use of land.
Soils exist and are used and abused all over the surface of the earth.
Soil Scientists are in the unique position to help manage soil resources for our betterment and that of future generations. Since this major started in Summer Session 1990 until and including Spring Semester 1994, nine students will have graduated. Two have employment as Soil Scientists in the private sector, five are pursuing graduate studies in Soil Science, and two have yet to find employment in Soil Science. There are currently 14 students in the major. Call Dr. Fritton if you would like the latest information.
