Academic Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Crop and Soil Science - Science Track

The Academic Accelerator Program is a two-semester program designed specifically for students who are ready to succeed in immersive English-speaking classrooms, but who also want the benefit of English-language and student support that will help them thrive. The program curriculum offers a balance of university-wide and Academic Accelerator program exclusive courses, with English-language course supplements that equip students with the practical, subject-specific vocabulary and skills that they need to excel in their coursework. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits. 

As a student in agronomy and soils, students will apply the basic sciences — such as biology, chemistry, physics, geology and microbiology — to better understand the natural foundation upon which our entire industry is built. Graduates of this program protect the natural environment while producing the food, fiber and resources that improve life for billions every single day.

The science option will provide students with a scientific base that includes courses in soil morphology, chemistry and microbiology. This option will prepare students for a career as a researcher with agri-life corporations or state or federal agricultural research agencies. The science option is usually chosen by students who intend to pursue graduate degrees in any branch of the life sciences.
