Extractions: Complete Degree Program Overview The Department of Plant, Soil, and Entomological Sciences, within the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, offers B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in entomology, plant science, and soil and land resources. The Department includes degree programs that focus on the earths biological and physical resources allowing students to pursue careers in agriculture, horticulture, or environmental science. Students in agriculture and horticulture develop skills needed for professional careers in crop production, plant maintenance, pest control, biotechnology, and biological control of insects, weeds, and diseases. Students in soil and land resources are prepared for careers relevant to environmental quality and the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of soil and water resources. The entomology major emphasizes both basic and applied aspects of the study of insects and how they influence human activities. The program provides a broad entomological education with opportunities to specialize in such areas as agricultural and aquatic entomology, biological control, host plant resistance, insect ecology, physiology, and insect-plant relations. The curriculum is designed for students pursuing professional careers in the basic and applied fields of entomology, or for those interested in continuing their education at the graduate level.

Extractions: With the world's population currently more than 6 billion people, and increasing at a rate of 100,000,000 people per year, there is a tremendous need to develop sustainable systems to meet the food and other needs of this burgeoning population. Currently, there is a shortage in the number of scientists needed to find ways to increase food production globally, without degrading the environment. Genetic engineering offers great promise in addressing many of the current limitations in food crop growth and development, including nutritional quality. Soil scientists are needed to deal with the many existing and potential environmental problems associated with food production in both developed and developing countries. To help prepare scientists for these roles, the department offers the following areas of specialization within the field of crop and soil sciences: plant breeding and genetics; crop physiology, ecology, and management; weed science; turfgrass management; soil genesis and classification; soil microbiology and biochemistry; soil physics; soil chemistry; soil biophysics; soil fertility; and environmental and pollution aspects of soil science, including the study of waste disposal on land. Graduate Programs of study are flexible and are designed to reflect the individual needs and interests of students. Degree Programs

Environmental consulting firms also employ at the B.S. degree level; (3) agribusiness, the part of industry that provides seeds, chemicals, tools, biological agents, and financial resources used in modern agricultural production; and (4) farming and farm management, especially with cash crops and with enterprises emphasizing the technical aspects of land management. Courses and Academic Opportunities In the first two years, students concentrate on the physical and biological sciences that are important prerequisites for advanced courses in the major and take introductory courses in plant sciences, soils, and atmospheric sciences, according to their specific interests. Each student has a faculty adviser in the department who will help select a schedule of courses that has ample flexibility and soundness for defining and then meeting specific academic and career goals.
Undergraduate Programs The curriculum focus is on the application of basic science with technicalCrop and soil science courses to soil and Water Resource Management. http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/SoilCrop/ugrad.html
Extractions: The major in soil and crop sciences provides the required core courses and the flexibility to develop a broad-based understanding and appreciation for the basic natural and social sciences; communication skills, and to explore human interests and leadership potential. Students from a wide range of rural and urban backgrounds learn principles that apply to the current challenges in soil, plant, and environmental sciences. Each graduating senior with a major in soil and crop sciences will participate in an assessment of the educational progress of students within this major. Presentations in senior seminar, performance in the senior-level crop and soil management courses, and performance on the exit evaluation will be used to assess student learning. There are eight concentrations that permit specialization in areas that require education in technical areas but continue to provide flexibility for students to develop broad-based interests. A student may major in soil and crop sciences without declaring a specific concentration. Emphasis is on providing the student maximum flexibility in tailoring the curriculum to meet individual needs.

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: Agronomy majors learn about three basic natural elementscrops, soils, and climatesand their interdependence in producing food, feed, fiber, and fuel. Agronomists study theory and practices for improving crop production while conserving natural resources and maintaining environmental quality. What the Major is Like Agronomy (sometimes called crop science, plant science, or soil science) uses plant and soil sciences to produce abundant, high-quality food, feed, and fiber. Crop and plant sciences relate primarily to the genetics, breeding, physiology, and management of field and turf crops. Soil science concentrates on soil physics, soil chemistry, soil origin, soil microbiology, soil fertility, and soil management. It also covers other soil uses, such as foundations for buildings and road construction, waterways, and waste disposal systems. Majors also learn to understand the components of weather and climate. Agronomy students generally begin by studying soil science, crop production, botany or biology, geology, chemistry, English, and statistics. In addition, they study physical and social sciences, communications, economics, and mathematics. All agronomy students are encouraged to take at least one course in plant pathology, entomology, weed science, and soil fertility/plant nutrition.
