What coursework for soil science majors?

[David E. Radcliffe <dradclif@uga.cc.uga.edu>]

I have a question for the soil science consultants out there.  I'm on the
faculty in the crop and soil sciences department at the Univeristy of
Georgia.  In about a week we are having a retreat to review our
Environmental Soil Science major which we have been offering for about 6
years (http://mars.cropsoil.uga/).  My question is what do you think are the
most important skills or coursework that students should have that are
likely to get jobs in soil science consulting.  We require chemistry through
a first course in organic, one course in calculus and physics, and the
traditional soil science courses (soil physics, chemistry, biology, and
pedology).  Any other advise you'd like to give us on this?
