ENST Environmental Science and Technology( Agriculture and Natural Resources)Courses formerly listed under the heading Natural Resource Sciences (NRSC) can now be found under two different program prefixes. NRSC courses about Plants are now offered by the Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture and can be found under "PLSC". NRSC courses about Soils are now offfered by the Department of Environmental Science and Technology and can be found under "ENST" along with new environmental science courses. Thank you for your interest!
