Soil and Water Science
 Students who major in soil and water science
must complete core requirements that stress fun-
damentals of science as applied to the study of
soil and water. Electives are selected within a
specialization emphasizing a particular aspect of
soil and water science. The specializations are
soil, water, and land use (with accent on natural
resources and the environment); environmental
soil and water management (with accent on agri-
cultural and other applied aspects of soil and
water science); physical sciences (with accent on
chemistry, physics and mathematics); and bio-
logical sciences (with accent on microbiology,
botany and/or other biological sciences).
Critical Tracking Criteria:
 Critical tracking courses are bolded. A stu-
dent should complete the bolded courses in
the semester indicated to stay "on track" for
this major.

 Balance of 120 credit hours necessary for

** Specialization electives must include at least
 one of the following four courses: AGG 3503
 Agriculture and Environmental Quality (3
 credits); SOS 4115 Fertilizers and Soil
 Fertility (3 credits); SOS 4242 Wetlands and
 Water Quality (3 credits); SOS 5303C Soil
 Microbial Ecology (3 credits).
 Electives are chosen in consultation with the
student's adviser. Specific areas of specializa-
tion are soil, water, and land use; environmental


soil and water management; physical sciences;
and biological sciences. The student is encour-
aged to take electives from a range of course
groupings. These groupings vary depending on
specialization, but include biology, building
construction, chemistry, earth science, environ-
mental science, hydrology, mathematics,
physics, policy, production systems, program-
ming and statistics.
 It is not intended that the areas of specializa-
tion in the soil and water science major be
restricted to the four given above; other areas of
specialization may be developed.

SOIL AND WATER SCIENCE MINOR
 A minor consisting of 15 credit hours is
offered in soil and water science. The minor
must include SOS 3022 General Soils and SOS
3022L General Soils Lab. Additional courses in
the minor must be approved in writing (at least
two semesters prior to graduation) by the stu-
dent's academic adviser and the undergraduate
coordinator in soil and water science.

Statistics
 A major in statistics is offered through the
College of Agriculture and the College of
Liberal Arts and Sciences. Students planning to
major in statistics should have a strong interest
in mathematics and some interest in computing.
A student majoring in statistics can also work
toward a minor in actuarial science. Students
must consult the undergraduate coordinator for
curriculum.
Critical Tracking Criteria:
 Critical tracking courses are bolded. A stu-
dent should complete the bolded courses in
