As a career, it is exciting, essential, and rewarding. As a profession, it requires ambition, skill, and dedication, while offering the opportunity for intellectual and personal fulfillment. Plant pathologists continually pit their abilities and energies against more than 50,000 destructive plant diseases. Job opportunities include private consulting, cooperative extension services, agricultural sales, federal and state government and foreign service, technical work, biotechnology, various integrated pest-management programs, farming, and graduate programs.
Salaries are competitive with other biological and agricultural professions.
Advisors for Plant Pathology undergraduates attempt to tailor the program of study to fit the student's long-term goals. I 3 - MT HSC 102 Intro. Semester Hours 1 See General Education Requirements.
