Extractions: The following are basic guidelines for the Undergraduate Program in Crop and Soil Sciences. Your Advisor Your advisor will help you develop the degree program best suited for your individual needs that fulfills the requirements of your selected major. Most faculty advisors have years of experience in advising students, so they are in a unique position to help and advise you with most problems concerning your academic life. However, advisors cannot help if they do not know that a problem exists. It is your responsibility to keep your advisor informed. Your advisor can be contacted directly by phone or in the office. Remember, advisors do have other commitments so they are not always immediately available. If your advisor is not available and your business is urgent, then a secretary in Room 3111 should be able to find another advisor to help you. The desired outcome of the advising system in the Crop and Soil Science Department is to: Successfully attain the student's educational and career goals.

Extractions: Department of Crop and Soil Sciences What is Crop Science? Crop science is the study of plants that are used to produce food and fiber for humans and feed for animals. Modern crop science includes basic and applied courses in a diversity of study areas. The crop science major allows students flexibility in preparing for careers. Careful course selection in the first two years permits students to choose from numerous electives during their junior and senior year. Elective courses in genetics, chemistry, computer science, animal sciences, botany, economics, business, engineering, entomology, plant pathology, and other areas broaden the scope of education. Practical Experiences Many courses in the crop science major include laboratories in which students obtain experience related to their coursework. Internships provide practical experience in crop sciences, and students may arrange to receive course credits for internships. Part-time or full-time internships may be arranged with experiment stations, businesses, industries, or government agencies. Scientists in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences offer work-study opportunities to students to assist in research. A special problem course in agronomy awards academic credit for experience in research. Leadership training is provided through the Agronomy Club and other campus activities. Career Opportunities Career opportunities for crop science graduates are diverse. Employment opportunities are found in agribusiness sales and service, education, financial institutions, government service, and farming. Specific areas of employment are agricultural business manager, agricultural chemical sales and promotion, agricultural extension agent, agricultural missionary, farmer, farm manager, international agriculturalist, herbicide specialist, industrial agronomist, and research technician.

Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top The work of agricultural and food scientists plays an important part in maintaining the Nation's food supply by ensuring agricultural productivity and the safety of the food supply. Agricultural scientists study farm crops and animals, and develop ways of improving their quantity and quality. They look for ways to improve crop yield with less labor, control pests and weeds more safely and effectively, and conserve soil and water. They research methods of converting raw agricultural commodities into attractive and healthy food products for consumers. Agricultural science is closely related to biological science, and agricultural scientists use the principles of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and other sciences to solve problems in agriculture. They often work with biological scientists on basic biological research and on applying to agriculture the advances in knowledge brought about by biotechnology.

Extractions: Usually, more employment opportunities are available in CWS than there are qualified graduates. Since producers require annual inputs such as seed, fertilizers and herbicides, 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. 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 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.
