项目概述

环境与植物生物学[j].S. graduate program provides educational and research experience in plant biology from the molecular to the organismal and ecosystem levels.

Most students are trained within three general areas of study: plant ecology, 植物系统学与进化, 或者植物分子和细胞生物学. The program strives to foster communication across and beyond these areas of study to provide unique opportunities to meet each student’s specific 的职业目标.

M.S. program is designed to train and prepare students to be successful in a Ph.D. program or positions in industry, government, or non-governmental organizations.

Each student will be directed in the conduct of independent research in the pursuit of knowledge. Students are mentored in grantsmanship to support their own research with internal and external funding.

Students have hands-on teaching experience because the program provides a teaching assistantship. 作为助教, students have the opportunity to assist in a variety of courses and interact with faculty. All students are exposed to the national and international plant biology community through colloquia, 研讨会, 和科学会议，这将帮助他们实现他们的后m.S. 的职业目标.

A 分子和细胞生物学的浓度 也提供与M.S. 植物生物学.

职业发展机会得了M的学生.S. 在植物生物学方面可以在学院或大学工作, 在不同的专业领域进行教学或研究. He or she also could work in private industry or governmental agencies dealing with agriculture, 园艺, 花卉栽培, 生物技术或制药公司, 自然保护机构和博物馆, 环境咨询公司, 食品公司, 酿造和发酵工业, 木材和制浆公司, 植物苗圃, 温室, 植物园, 和arboreta.

建议

All new students will report to the 研究生 Chair for initial instructions on their program of study.

学生可由两名环境顾问共同指导 & 植物生物学终身教职人员.

学生可以换导师, but only after approval of the current and potential adviser and the 研究生 Chair. 如果学生离开了他或她的导师, 不管出于什么原因, he or she must find another adviser within four weeks or before the start of the following semester.

An unadvised student cannot remain in the 植物生物学 graduate program beyond this time limit.

重要的最后期限
