Undergraduate Program

From the food on our plates to the homes we live in to the fuel in our vehicles, plants influence all aspects of our daily lives. As an ever-growing human population continues to increase the demand for crops and other plant products, so too does the demand increase for individuals skilled in improving their production, protection and use.

If you're interested in answering these challenges from the field to the laboratory, then a career in plant sciences is right for you.

The division offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Plant Sciences. Students receive a broad education in the basic and applied sciences as they relate to the biotechnology, breeding, production, protection and marketing of plants for agricultural, ornamental and home use. This broad education is then joined with a specific emphasis area designed to empower them to be competitive in career opportunities in that area.
