Soil Science

This cer­tifi­cate cov­ers top­ics relat­ed to the sol­id and liq­uid phas­es of soils, reac­tive chem­i­cal con­stituents, fer­til­i­ty and plant growth, as well as soil for­ma­tion, eval­u­a­tion, sus­tain­abil­i­ty, and man­age­ment. The cours­es offer hands-on appli­ca­tions with real-world sit­u­a­tions and respon­sive edu­ca­tion. Stu­dents will enhance their pro­fes­sion­al skill set and knowl­edge based on cur­rent research, reg­u­la­tions, and applications.

Prac­ti­tion­ers work­ing with soil as mon­i­tors, audi­tors, tech­nol­o­gists, engi­neers, agrol­o­gists, biol­o­gists, foresters, con­sul­tants, and reg­u­la­tors will ben­e­fit from this pro­gram. These cours­es are rec­og­nized by the Alber­ta Insti­tute of Agrol­o­gists as senior-lev­el agrol­o­gy cours­es relat­ed to entrance into the pro­fes­sion and to aug­ment core knowl­edge require­ments relat­ed to a prac­tice area in AIA.
