Admission 

The undergraduate training of students planning to undertake graduate study in plant biology should ordinarily include at least 24 semester hours in plant biology and/or other biological sciences. At least 12 of these must be in upper-division work. This requirement in the major should be supported by coursework in the other sciences, especially chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

Total Hours Required: 30

Requirements

At least 30 semester hours of coursework, including P B 698 or P B 398R, are required. The coursework must include a minor of six hours of work acceptable for graduate credit in another area or areas.
