生物科学理学学士-植物生物学

植物生物学专业专为希望对植物的结构，分类，生态学，功能，发育和分子生物学有更多了解的学生而设计，提供了两种选择：（a）植物学和（b）植物生物技术。在方案（a）中，要求学生修习植物学和植物生理学入门课程，并从一组涵盖植物解剖学，植物细胞生物学，发育，生态学，分类学和进化的课程中至少获得6个学分。选项（b）主要面向希望专门研究植物及其农业应用的分子生物学的学生。它的重点是植物的分子生物学和遗传工程以及植物生理学课程。此外，学生应至少修读七个植物和生物技术其他课程的学分。除了植物生物学（PLBIO）和植物生态学
The Plant Biology Concentration is designed for students who would like to gain a greater understanding of the structure, classification, evolution, ecology, function, development, and molecular biology of plants. It is applicable to areas that encompass either wild or cultivated/agricultural plants, or both.<br>Two options are offered: (a) Plant Evolutionary Biology and (b) Plant Biotechnology. Option (a) focuses on plant evolution, adaptation and interactions with the environment. Students are required to take introductory plant biology and plant physiology courses and a minimum of six additional credits from a group of courses covering plant anatomy, plant cell biology, development, ecology, taxonomy, and evolution. Option (b) is primarily for students who wish to specialize in the molecular biology of plants and its agricultural applications. It centers on the Molecular Biology and Genetic Engineering of Plants and Plant Physiology courses. Students should take at least seven credits of other courses in plants and biotechnology. Students are required to select courses from the list provided in the courses of study to complete the concentration, however, if students find another relevant course that is not listed, they may petition the Director of Undergraduate Studies via the biological sciences petition to use that course for the concentration. Teaching Assistant positions will not count towards concentration credits.
