Please note that all Soil and Water Science course prefixes will be changing from "SOS" to "SWS." This is a permanent change which more accurately reflects our equal emphasis on both soil and water sciences as academic disciplines. Students and faculty will need to use the new "SWS" prefix beginning with Fall Advance Registration. The four-digit numerical code for each course will remain unchanged.
