Why study Botany & Plant Pathology?
Botany students learn about plants at all levels of biological organization, from molecular and cellular processes to the global ecosystem. In the degree program, they are prepared to address fundamental questions in plant biology applied to food, fiber, and medicine production and for increasing our understanding of the diversity of plant and ecological systems and their interactions with humans.
