Scientists on the forefront of innovation continue to identify new ways that plants contribute to modern science. Students who wish to join those front lines may pursue an education in plant scienceโwhere they will develop knowledge of plant biology and physiology, development and evolution, biotechnology, crop production, processing and environmental management. Program graduates will have countless opportunities to use their specialized expertise toward discovery and innovation of all kindsโfrom crop management, to laboratories, alternative energy and/or medicinal research.
