THE DEPARTMENT OF CROP AND SOIL SCIENCES (CSS)
Faculty, staff and students in CSS are committed to improving the long-term sustainability of agricultural systems through research, teaching, and extension. Our department offers M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Crop Science and Soil Science, with 100 graduate students currently enrolled. In addition, we host graduate students pursuing an M.S. in Agriculture. Undergraduate students can select B.S. programs in Agricultural and Food Systems (with majors in agricultural education; agricultural technology and production management; agricultural and food business economics, and organic agriculture) and Integrated Plant Sciences (with majors in agricultural biotechnology; field crop management; fruit and vegetable management; landscape design; landscape, nursery, and greenhouse management; turfgrass management; and viticulture and enology). First-class facilities include a new 30-acre organic farm on the Pullman campus, five dryland agronomy farms within a 100-mile radius of Pullman, and labs and farms at research centers in Mount Vernon, Puyallup, Prosser, and Wenatchee. Partnerships with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, the Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the University of Washington and other universities, commodity commissions, the agriculture industry, and family farms result in well-rounded and timely research, successful outreach, and opportunities for student internships.
