Program Description
|
|
|
The Department of Natural Resource Sciences and Landscape Architecture offers graduate study leading to the Master of Science or Doctor of Philosophy degrees. Candidates select one of two program areas: Plant Science or Soil Science. Candidates in Plant Science may specialize in Breeding and Genetic Engineering, Crop Management and Protection, Ecology and Environmental Physiology, or Physiology and Molecular Biology. Candidates in Soil Science may specialize in Biology and Ecology of Soils, Bioremediation, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Fertility and Nutrient Management, Land Management and Conservation, Mineralogy, Pedology, or Physics. The specific program of study for each graduate student is individually tailored to the student's interests and professional goals within a rigorous but flexible set of program requirements. The master's program offers both a thesis and a non-thesis option. The thesis option program requires a minimum of 30 semester credits, including six credits of research. The non-thesis option is offered for students who do not intend to pursue further studies beyond the M.S.
