Water and Soil Science


College or University: University of Rhode Island

Type of degree: B.S.

Brief overview of program: Water and soil are the foundation and structure of every ecosystem. Studies of soil and water provide the framework for understanding environmental quality, resource management, terrestrial ecology, and the fate and transport of pollutants in the environment. The Water & Soil Science major integrates classroom and hands-on experiences in the field of watershed science, pedology, hydrology, land use, wetlands, geomorphology, and surficial geology. This major is designed to meet the growing demand for training in the science and management of land and water resources. Course tracks in soil science and water resources provide in-depth training in specific, career-related disciplines. With proper course selection, students are eligible for professional certification by the American Society of Agronomy and the Soil Science Society of America. The water and soil science major provides a strong background for work in state and federal regulatory agencies or consulting firms that address land use or environmental contamination issues.
