Explore Plant Biology
The Botany, B.A., B.S., major delves into the study of plants, including a wide range of organisms from microscopic algae to the tallest trees.
This major is chosen by many students seeking a career in environmental assessment, agriculture, or horticulture. It is also selected by those who wish to teach in the biological sciences or to conduct research in environmental science.
Botany majors are highly successful at gaining admission into graduate and professional schools or entering the profession in education, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations, and many of our graduates become teachers, researchers, or park naturalists upon graduation, or enter graduate schools in ecology and molecular biology, among other fields.

Curriculum and Courses
The courses you choose will open up a wealth of career opportunities — not lock you into one occupation. You’ll extend your education way beyond the classroom to every area of your life.
Students seeking the Bachelor of Arts in Botany meet the College of Arts and Science writing in the major requirement by completing the following courses: two W Biology courses at the 200- or 300-level and one biology W course at the 400-level. As an alternative to the 400-level course, students may complete an independent study that includes technical science writing.
My favorite thing about research is that for a short period of time, you can discover something no one else in the world knows. That feeling is what motivates me through every difficult assay and every failed experiment.
