About the course

As our world continues to change, the science of protecting our environment and developing new agricultural practices must continue to evolve as well. A major in plant and environmental sciences covers topics in plant biology, soil science, ecology, applied genetics and biotechnology. Our graduates play a significant role in bringing sustainable approaches and modern technologies to agricultural and environmental practices. As a plant and environmental sciences student, you'll be able to choose a focus area from our three concentrations - agricultural biotechnology, agronomy, or soil and water science. This degree is the only four-year program in South Carolina that offers comprehensive management of biological systems in plant agriculture, and it is one of the few in the nation that reflects the scientific complexity and sophistication of modern agronomic practices. Soil and water quality impacts all agricultural disciplines. In the classwork for this concentration, you'll learn how to address management of agricultural and industrial wastes, reduction of contamination of ground and surface waters, and soil and water use in production of food and fiber crops.
