The Department of Plant Sciences presents a truly unique experience to students by offering research-based M.Sc.and Ph.D. programs in agronomy, crop science, horticultural science, plant ecology or rangeland studies in one department. We are the only plant sciences department in Canada capable of offering such a well-rounded experience in plant studies.<br><br>The Department of Plant Sciences is housed in the state-of-the-art Agriculture Building. Located within the building are 180 research laboratories and a 30,000 sq.ft. controlled environment facility. The 25,000 sq.ft. greenhouses are located within walking distance of the building. The land base dedicated to plant research totals 1,979 ha. The newly opened Grains Innovation Quality Lab intensifies research on value added quality traits.<br><br>The Crop Development Centre is a centre for excellence for crop breeding, and is fully integrated into the Plant Sciences Department. Since its inception in 1971, the Centre's programs have developed over 350 crop varieties.<br><br>In addition to master's and doctoral degrees, we offer a dual degree program at the Ph.D. level in collaboration with the United Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences (Japan). After fulfillment of all of the requirements of this program, with one thesis and two co-supervisors (one from each institution), and a joint committee, Ph.D. degrees in the field of plant science are awarded from each university. Students are based approximately half of the time at each institution.
