As the science of people-plant research expands, more and more opportunities for graduates in this area are becoming available. Dr. Zajicek's research focuses on the interaction of people with plants bringing together the disciplines of horticulture, educational psychology, agricultural education, sociology, elementary and secondary education, and environmental education. Dr. Zajicek has a very viable graduate program with an average of 7-9 students working on MAg, MS and PhD degrees.
Graduate students are the life and inspiration of a research program.
