Training in Plant Science and Biotechnology takes you to the area of scientific research dealing with vital issues impacting today's world. Challenges to future scientists include the growth, development and genetic makeup of plants, the enhancement of the environment and the safe cultivation of more food using less space, less fertilizer and fewer pesticides. These issues must be explored in order to preserve and improve the quality of life on our planet.
As a result, extensive career opportunities exist in genetic engineering, tissue culture, plant breeding, research technology and teaching. A background in Plant Science and Biotechnology is an excellent foundation for entrance into graduate school as well.
