Soil courses are offered at both the undergraduate and graduate level. These courses often include lab or field-based work as part of the curriculum to give students hands-on experience with soil science. Courses offered at the 5000 level include both undergraduate and graduate students. Courses at the 6000 level or higher are exclusively graduate student courses.
