Bachelor of Science in Botany

The Botany, B.A., B.S., major delves into the study of plants, including a wide range of organisms from microscopic algae to the tallest trees.

This major is chosen by many students seeking a career in environmental assessment, agriculture, or horticulture. It is also selected by those who wish to teach in the biological sciences or to conduct research in environmental science.

Botany majors are highly successful at gaining admission into graduate and professional schools or entering the profession in education, industry, government, and non-governmental organizations, and many of our graduates become teachers, researchers, or park naturalists upon graduation, or enter graduate schools in ecology and molecular biology, among other fields.
