Academics: Degree Options

The Crop Management option is targeted toward students who would like to return to farms and ranches or secure positions in agricultural service industries.

You will take background courses in chemistry and biology and further your study in plant nutrition, integrated pest management, and crop production.

Courses in ecology, conflict resolution and agricultural business management will round out your education.

Soils are incredibly diverse and fascinating resources. The Soil Resource Management option allows you to explore the amazing world beneath your feet and learn how to use soils for a number of practical applications while protecting them for future users.

Soil Resource Management starts with a strong foundation in the biological and physical sciences. Subsequent courses in soil science, vegetation ecology, resource planning and spatial reasoning prepare you for careers in land use planning, soil mapping, soil conservation, and soil management for non-agricultural uses. Practical experience is encouraged through internships in the Pacific Northwest and overseas.
