TheDepartment is the academic and administrativeunit of the College of Agricultural Sciencesdealing with teaching and research in the areas ofcrop management, crop physiology, mineralnutrition, plant breeding, forage and pasturemanagement, soil fertility, soil chemistry, soilmicrobiology, soil classification, soil physics andsoil conservation.The first two years of studies are the same for allstudents in the Agronomy and Soil Sciencesprograms. Starting in the third year, studentsbegin taking professional electives of theirmajor. The Agronomy major requires 15 creditsof professional electives, while the Soil Sciencesmajor only requires 6 credits. Both majorsrequire a three credits summer practicum. TheDepartment also offers a study program leadingto the degree of Master in Science with majors inAgronomy and Soils Sciences (see GraduateStudies Bulletin of Information).PROGRAMS OF STUDYCURRICULUM IN AGRONOMYFIRST YEARFirst SemesterNumber Course Credits*ENGL 3--- First year course inEnglish 3*SPAN 3101 Basic Course in Spanish 3*MATH 3171 Pre-Calculus I 3CHEM 3001 General Chemistry 4PLSC 3005 Fundamentals of CropProductionorANIN 3005 Fundamentals of AnimalScience 4PHED ---- Basic Course in PhysicalEducation 118Second Semester*ENGL 3--- First year course inEnglish 3*SPAN 3102 Basic Course in Spanish 3*MATH 3172 Pre-Calculus II 3CHEM 3002 General Chemistry 4ANIN 3005 Fundamentals of AnimalScienceorPLSC 3005 Fundamentals of CropProduction 4PHED ---- Basic Course in PhysicalEducation 11879
