GRADUATE PROGRAM
The University of Florida (UF) - Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS) offers excellent research and educational opportunities for students seeking careers in soil, water, and environmental sciences related to agriculture and natural resource management. To meet specific needs, Master of Science students and Doctor of Philosophy students enrolled in the Soil and Water Science Department may develop their graduate programs in one of the following concentrations, with their research project in one or more of the department's thrust areas. Each program is tailored to meet the interests of the student and the need of the student's research program.
Soil Science: Graduate students in this track can formulate their course work with focus in sustainable production of agronomic, turf, silviculture, and ornamental crops, with strong background in traditional soil science. This program is designed for students with a strong interest in agricultural sciences, as related to sustainable productivity and water quality.
Environmental Science: Graduate students in this track can formulate their course work with a focus on environmental science. This program is designed for students with strong interest in non-traditional soil science, as related surface and groundwater quality.
Hydrologic Science: Graduate students in this track can formulate their course work in hydrologic sciences, with emphasis in hydrology, water quality, wetlands, and aquatic systems. http://hydrology.ufl.edu
Ecology: Graduate students in this track can work with Soil and Water Science Faculty to obtain graduate degrees in the 'Interdisciplinary Ecology Program' through the School of Natural Resources and Environment.
Minor in Soil and Water Science: Graduate students currently enrolled at the University of Florida have the option of minoring in Soil and Water Science. The minor consists of 6 credits of SOS coursework for MS students and 12 credits for PhD students at the discretion of the Minor Representative, designated from amongst Soil and Water Science faculty.
