植物学理学士（荣誉学位）

植物学系向生活世界介绍：其生物的多样性，其进化的历史渊源，其结构，功能和生态学原理及其对非生物世界的相互作用，关系和影响。植物学是植物，藻类，真菌和细菌的科学-除动物以外的所有生物。绿色植物和藻类提供光合作用能量，为地球上的所有其他生物提供燃料，并推动全球水和碳循环。真菌和细菌是地球的基本回收者。
The Department of Botany provides an introduction to the living world: the diversity of its organisms, its historical origins through evolution, its principles of structure, function, and ecology, and its interactions, relationships, and effects on the nonliving world. Botany is the science of plants, algae, fungi, and bacteriaall living organisms except animals. Green plants and algae provide the photosynthetic energy for fueling all other life on earth and drive global water and carbon cycles. Fungi and bacteria are the fundamental recyclers of the earth.<br><br>The study of botany provides a broad background in the principles of modern biology and gives a solid foundation for careers in environmental studies, conservation biology, ecology, systematics, evolution, genetics, physiology, biotechnology, agriculture, and horticulture. Jobs requiring such preparation include teaching in secondary schools and colleges, research and development in industry and medicine, stewardship of our natural world through private and governmental programs, and research and teaching in academia.
