Graduate degrees in Plant and Soil Science provide professional development for students who wish to continue their education after graduating from science oriented undergraduate programs, typically in earth, biological or agricultural sciences. Both our M.S. programs and Ph.D. programs require the student to complete a research program and schedule of classes, designed by the student and their advisor, to support the research study. Each student will be further supported by a study committee comprised of faculty with expertise in relevant areas. Research topics are generally supported by peer-reviewed grants and thus address important topics in Plant and Soil Science and allied fields.
