Curriculum in Botany
The curriculum in Botany emphasizes major
areas of plant science such as plant physiology, morphology,
anatomy, systematics and ecology. These areas, combined with
the required courses in genetics, cell biology and biochemistry,
provide the student with a foundation for a career in research
or a career in any area which requires a knowledge of plants.
