Career Opportunities in Botany
The Departments of Botany and Plant Sciences, Plant Pathology, and Nematology provide an interdepartmental program leading to a B.A. or B.S. degree in Botany or Plant Science. The major is designed to provide students with basic knowledge in the natural sciences to provide training in the major areas of plant biology, and to allow students to concentrate on a field of specialization.
A program of specialization is chosen in consultation with a faculty advisor. Courses prerequisite to the major, courses that satisfy major requirements, and the 16 units (for B.S. degree) related to the major must be taken for letter grades. Students may elect to take other courses on a Satisfactory/No Credit basis.
Research Experiences for Undergraduates:
As an NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site, the Center for Plant Cell Biology (CEPCEB) provides research experiences to students of two-and four-year colleges who have limited opportunity to learn about the excitement and career options in plant cell biology.
