The Bachelor’s Degree in Soil Science studies the properties and mechanics of soil that govern plant growth, construction, and conservation. Topics include soil biology, chemistry, water, fertility, classification, and survey, linked to soil and wetland management and soil mapping using Geographic Information Systems. The program emphasizes sustainable soil use and prepares learners to address soil and water conservation, nutrient management, and sustainable agriculture.
This is a distance learning bachelor’s degree delivered online. The program is 100% based on textbooks and includes a structured composition of General Education (40 credits, which may be transferred) plus 78 Academic credits for Soil Science Online, with additional subjects. Credits are gained through BIU-earned academic work (reports, projects, and thesis).
