Soil Science at Shahrekord University can trace its origins from teaching soil science courses to agriculture students through the formation of a separate Department of Soil Science in 1988 and on to the present day. Department of Soil Science was established at Faculty of Agriculture as the focus for soil related education and research activities at the University and offers theoretical and practical courses for both undergraduate (B.Sc.) and postgraduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) students. The Department name was changed from Department of Soil Science to Soil Science and Engineering (SSE) Department in 2013.
