| The University of Kentucky Department of Agronomy provides opportunities
for graduate study leading
to a M.S. degree in Plant and Soil Science and a Ph.D. degree in Soil Science . Graduate programs are designed to accommodate the individual interests and objectives of students, provide a strong background in basic science, and a broad understanding of soil systems. Excellent facilities and experienced guidance allow students to carry out independent research and receive thorough training in both field and laboratory techniques. The University of Kentucky is located in Lexington, in the Bluegrass Region of Kentucky. The Department of Agronomy laboratories are well equipped, with sophisticated instrumentation. A central analytical research laboratory increases efficiency for routine plant and soil analyses, while greenhouses and controlled climate chambers are adjacent to the building.
