Here at Penn State, we pride ourselves on delivering an undergraduate education in soil science that gets the students out in the field to explore what they read and are taught in lectures. Soil Judging is one of many courses offered in the Department of Crop and Soil Sciences in the College of Agricultural Sciences that offers this field experience to its students.

The second component of soil judging at Penn State is the Soil Judging Team. The team is a separate entity from the class, but is usually populated by students who have taken the class. The Environmental Soil Science faculty’s commitment to both the class and team makes it easy to understand why success is a tradition the Penn State soil judging program continues to build upon.

Today, past soil judgers are: consultants, engineers, farmers, scientists, hydrologists, business people, professors, geographers, natural resource specialists, landscape architects, real estate agents…
soil judging helped them get these jobs….
