Program Overview

The department of Plant Science offers programs that will train tomorrow's ecologists, botanists, agrologists, and biotechnologists.

Students must complete a 45-credit course and research program established by their supervisor and advisory committee.

The challenge of using the knowledge accumulated in the field of biology to answer these questions falls in great part to plant scientists. Subsequent career paths are varied but include work with government agencies, the private sector, or further graduate studies in a related field.
