The curriculum requirements for the plant and soil science program include:Curriculum RequirementsHoursEnglish Composition and Rhetoric 6(or conformity with University English requirements)Arts and Humanities (Cluster A) 12Social and Behavioral Sciences (Cluster B) 12Natural Sciences (Cluster C included) 24(Must elect a minimum of eight hours in biology; eight hours inchemistry; three hours in college algebra or equivalent.)Curriculum Requirements continued on next page.Courses in Agriculture 45Elect a minimum of a three credit course, excluding Assigned Topics,fromeach of the following course prefixes: 1 . Animal Science;2. Plant Science; 3. Soil Science; and 4. Agricultural Economics.Elect additional courses to obtain a total of 45 hours in agriculture.Free and Restricted Electives ..37Total 136The specific requirements for each of the program options are listed under thedescription of that option.AgronomyAgronomy is the application of sciences to the production of field crops and themanagement of soils. Agronomists are concerned with producing food and withprotecting soil and water resources. The crop science option in agronomy emphasizesprimarily the physiology, production and quality of forage crops. The soil scienceoption in agronomy emphasizes the characteristics and management of soils forgrowing plants construction sites, wastewater treatment, and surface mine reclamation.Agronomists qualify for a wide variety of occupations, including farming, soilconservation, soil survey, agricultural sales, extension, research, plant breeding, andturfgrass management.Required courses: Biol. 169, Eng. 208, Env. Micro. 141, Math. 4 or equivalent,Phys. 1 , Stat. 101 , three hours in Computer Science, three hours in CommunicationStudies or Speech Pathology and Audiology, one semester of Organic Chemistryincluding laboratory.Additional requirements for crop science: Ento. 204, Gen. 171, P. Pth. 201,six hours in Econ. or Agr. Econ., 15 hours in Crop Science, six hours in Soil Science;Additional requirements for soil science: Geol. 1 and 2, three hours inEngineering, six hours in Crop Science, 15 hours in Soil Science.Basic ScienceThis option is especially designed for students who are interested incontinuing their education beyond the undergraduate level. Students enrolled in thisoption develop a strong background in the basic sciences, which permits graduatestudies in a number of fields.Required courses: Ag. Bi. 210; Ag. Micro. 141; Biol. 169; Chem. 133, 134, 135,136; Econ. 54; Math. 3, 4, 15, 16; Phys. 1,2; Stat. 101.Environmental ProtectionThis option prepares students for careers in areas which safeguard the quality ofthe environment. The curriculum includes broad interdisciplinary training in theenvironmental sciences. Areas of specialization include reclamation of disturbed lands,waste management, pest management, and protection of air, food, and water quality.Students work with their advisor to select courses (restricted electives) appropriate forthe area of specialization. Recent graduates in this option are employed by municipal,78 College of Agriculture and Forestry
