Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences

About

Graduate programs in Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences (CSES) are part of the School of Plant & Environmental Sciences (SPES) and lead to both the M.S. (non-thesis and thesis options) and the Ph.D. degrees. The principal objective of graduate education programs is to educate students in advanced concepts and research methods in one or more subdisciplines of CSES and related programs. This is accomplished through courses and research that bridge the physical and biological sciences. Individually planned programs of study are developed to provide education and experience in the general areas of focus for the department: 1) agronomy, 2) crop breeding and genomics, and 3) environmental science of soil and water in intensively managed landscapes. Graduate study programs in CSES are interdisciplinary by nature.

The School and CSES also manage a "Direct to Ph.D." program and participates in several interdisciplinary M.S. and Ph.D. programs.
