Note
* SOIL 362 is necessary for students applying for soil scientist positions with federal agencies.
**NRES 373 has satisfied the crop science requirement for a soil conservationist position with the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The soil science minor satisfies the minimum civil service requirements for soil scientist positions (classification and mapping) in federal agencies such as the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Forest Service.
Whether you are a major or minor, check with a soils adviser to determine the minimum core course requirements you need for certification as a professional and/or to take state or national exams or to obtain licenses.
