Extractions: about us download a degree sheet ... department homepages The Department of Plant and Soil Sciences offers programs of course work and research leading to the Master of Agriculture in the emphasis area of plant and soil sciences and the Master of Science degree in plant and soil sciences. The Doctor of Philosophy degree can be attained in crop science, environmental science, plant science, and soil science. Specific programs are available in the areas of plant breeding and molecular biology, biotechnology, cytogenetics, range ecology and management, forage management, weed science, crop physiology, soil morphology and genesis, soil microbiology, soil fertility and plant nutrition, soil physics, soil-water management, soil chemistry, and waste management. Applicants should indicate their specific area of interest upon application. The graduate programs of the Department of Plant and Soil Sciences prepare individuals for successful careers in a variety of areas, including farming and ranching, extension education, agricultural business, research, teaching, environmental sciences, waste management, and all aspects of crop production.
Crop And Weed Sciences Fact Sheet a good background for crop production consultants on weed control, but additional courses in entomology, plant pathology and soil science are required http://www.ndsu.edu/ndsu/academic/factsheets/ag/cropweed.shtml
Extractions: Usually, more employment opportunities are available in CWS than there are qualified graduates. Producers require annual inputs such as seed, fertilizers and herbicides, so they seek assistance in sales or service areas such as crop consulting, chemical application and soil testing each year. Therefore, opportunities for CWS graduates usually have been more stable than for employment areas where inputs can be deferred when income is low. Also, salaries for CWS graduates are at or near the top among all graduates in agriculture. Many employers hire undergraduate students as interns for the summer months, and some hire for spring-summer semester or summer-fall semester periods. The department also hires summer interns with an expressed interest in graduate school. The opportunities for summer interns, beginning with students between their freshman and sophomore years, have exceeded the supply of students for several years. The salary for interns often exceeds the income for alternative summer jobs. An internship provides excellent work experience and often results in a graduating senior being hired earlier and with a higher salary than students without comparable experience.
Extractions: THE ENVIRONMENTAL SOIL SCIENCE CURRICULUM Starting with the first semester, Environmental Soil Science majors have at least one course in the major each term. To earn a bachelor's degree, students must complete 124 credits and meet the specific requirements for their concentration, as outlined in the University of Delaware Undergraduate Catalog. Each semester's courses will vary, depending on the student's interests and academic preparation. The following plan is only one example; not every student will take every course in the same order, and only REQUIRED courses are listed. Most students take 12 -17 credits per semester; Winter and Summer sessions may be used to lighten the loads of regular semesters. FRESHMAN YEAR Fall Semester Botany I (4 cr.) - Introduction to botany, including cell structure and function, anatomy, genetics, reproduction, physiology, taxonomy and ecology of plants. New Student Colloquium (1 cr.) - Focus on academics, careers and resources as they relate to success in the

Extractions: Agronomy Program Dept. of Plant Sciences Crop Development Centre Adjunct Faculty Emeritus Faculty ... Home The Agronomy major integrates principles of crop production, soil management and economics. Agronomy is the production of field crops and soil management. The Agronomy major combines courses from Plant Science, Soil Science, Agricultural Economics and other departments which provide students with a well rounded education and prepares them for a wide variety of careers. Philosophy of Instruction The Agronomy Program prepares students for a variety of careers in agribusiness, extension, and farming. Recently, there has been a large demand for qualified agronomist to work for agribusiness. As agronomy graduates possess a wide range of skills from different disciplines they are well suited to fill these positions. The Agronomy program allows some flexibility in course selection so as to allow students to prepare for careers in agribusiness, extension, research or farming. Through appropriate course selection, students can place emphasis on crop science, soil science or agricultural economics. If the students are interested in pursuing a career in agri-business, the agri-business minor would be a useful program of electives for the student to take, The Agri-business minor gives the student training in areas of management and economics which will be very useful if the student becomes involved with business, marketing or management.

Extractions: although students have the option of taking some modules offered at University Park. Why Study for a degree in Crop Science? Crop science is concerned with the production of crops while protecting the wider ecosystem and the provision and management of recreational and leisure environments. A thorough education in the sciences, management and economics coupled with well-developed communication skills and ready adaptability to changing circumstances are the key to successful careers in crop science. Students with an interest in applying their science skills will find crop science stimulating and rewarding. BSc Crop Science meets the demands of employers by producing graduates with a strong scientific background coupled with an in-depth knowledge of specialist subjects. A modular degree structure Nottingham offers a modular structure in all undergraduate courses. Teaching is based on two 15-week semesters per year. Modules are taught as self-contained units assessed through course work and by examination at the end of each semester. The modular structure offers flexibility and is part of the innovative teaching approach of the University. Lectures, seminars, tutorials, demonstrations and practical classes are supplemented with study visits to research establishments and commercial growers.
