The Plant Science curriculum prepares students for professional career opportunities in fields related to biotechnology, environmental soil sciences, and horticulture. Areas of concentration in the curriculum include environmental soil science, horticulture (vegetables) and biotechnology. Students selecting either option will take courses in analytical chemistry, organic chemistry, genetics, physics, botany and related sciences. Courses in genetic engineering, techniques in molecular biology and biotechnology are included in the plant biotechnology curriculum and can serve as electives in each of the other areas of concentration. The program options and course electives allow students to tailor course work to their individual needs in specific areas of biotechnology, and environmental quality and protection. These areas of concentration prepare students for employment opportunities not only with public agencies, such as the Natural Resources Conservation Services, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Cooperative Extension Service/Programs, but also with private industry involved in biotechnology, environmental consulting firms, universities and colleges.
