Extended Accelerator - Bachelor of Science - Crop and Soil Science - Soil, Water, and Land Use Track

The Extended Accelerator Program is a three-semester program for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students a firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Auburn University campus and the Auburn, Alabama, area through its contextual curriculum. 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.

Soil, water and related resources are the foundation for land use planning and management in both rural and urban settings. The soil, water and land use option provides the academic background for pursuing a career in soil science. This option will prepare students for a career in the consulting industry, state and federal regulatory agencies or research.
