应用植物科学理学硕士-农学/农业生态学

学生专注于作物生产的效率，获利能力和可持续性。研究领域包括种植系统，覆盖作物，可持续农业，管理策略，作物生理学，植物营养，杂草科学以及作物对环境的响应。应用植物科学是一项跨学科计划，旨在教育学生成为专业的农业科学/农业生态学，园艺学和植物育种/分子遗传学专业学科的科学家。该计划的毕业生能够提供创新的领导能力，并为解决公共或私营部门以及整个社会的学科内的问题做出贡献。该计划培养进行高质量研究和奖学金所必需的定量和定性研究技能。学生可以从四个专业领域中进行选择：农学/农业生态学，应用植物科学，园艺或植物育种/
Research involves different horticultural crops (fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and turf) and disciplines (physiology, production, cropping systems, integrated pest management, and health benefits of plants). Students use genetic, molecular, biochemical, and ecological tools in horticulture. Applied Plant Sciences is an interdisciplinary program for educating students to become professional scientists well grounded in the applied disciplines of agronomy/agroecology, horticulture, and plant breeding/molecular genetics. Graduates of the program are able to provide innovative leadership and contribute to problem solving within their disciplines in the public or private sector and within society at large. The program develops the quantitative and qualitative research skills necessary to conduct high quality research and scholarship. Students choose from among four specialization tracks: agronomy/agroecology, applied plant sciences, horticulture, or plant breeding/plant molecular genetics.
