If you enjoy spending time in nature and getting your hands dirty, soil and crop sciences could be a field that offers both fun and fulfillment. Experts in soil, plant, and environmental sciences are in high demand. As climate change and its effects have become a global focus, the need to identify and adopt more responsible, sustainable practices in land management and crop production has increased. Today’s soil scientists are solving worldwide problems related to soil conservation, water quality, waste management, and food production.
In an associate program in Soil and Crop Sciences, you will receive hands-on instruction about natural resources and food and fuel production that could lead to a career as an environmental researcher, crop advisor, or greenhouse technician. This degree is transferable to universities offering a bachelor’s degree in Soil and Crop Sciences.
