植物生物学理学学士

植物生物学是人类未来繁荣的关键。与基础医学研究人员寻求解决人类卫生保健中基本挑战的临床解决方案一样，尽管环境问题日趋严重，我们仍希望为植物生物学家提供洞察力，使我们能够为越来越多的人口提供食物，衣服和庇护所，尤其是气候变化。今天的学生将对我们物种的未来做出至关重要的决定，而这些决定必须以我们对植物的了解为基础，植物是所有植物的来源。学生可以通过农业与生命科学学院（CALS）或通过文理学院（CAS）选修植物生物学。两所大学对植物生物学的主要要求是相同的，而大学水平的要求是不同的。学生可以向该部门请愿，以用类
Plant biology is key to the future prosperity of the human population. In the same way that basic medical researchers seek clinical solutions to fundamental challenges in human health care, as plant biologists we seek to provide the insights that make it possible to feed, clothe, and shelter our ever-larger population in spite of intensifying environmental concerns, especially climate change. Today's students will make decisions critical to the future of our species, which must be informed by our insights into plants, the source of all sustenance. Students may major in Plant Biology through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (CALS) or through the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS). The Plant Biology major requirements for students in both colleges are the same, the College-level requirements are different. Students may petition the department to substitute similar courses for those listed. Study of modern foreign languages is encouraged for those attracted to the many international career opportunities in plant biology. All undergraduate students must meet University and College requirements as well as the requirements specific to the Plant Biology major.
