About Us
The Plant Science Major is an interdisciplinary degree, integrating four core departments supporting the program (with more than 150 talented and dedicated faculty combined!):
In addition, two affiliated departments provide key coursework for the major, ensuring that students understand how the plants function in the broader context of the ecosystems: Entomology and Nematology, and Soil, Water, and Ecosystem Sciences.
