From plants of the past we obtain fossil fuels. From plants we obtain the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat, fiber, wood, and pleasure in our everyday lives. The study of plant biology is basic to a variety of scientific disciplines. We have designed a flexible curriculum which covers a broad range of tropics from whole plant to molecular studies. Our program emphasizes undergraduate research in order that a student gain insights into research planning and implementation involving many different techniques.
Several societies have careers materials on line.
