Biotechnology and Plant Genomics, B.S.

Program Description

Biotechnology involves moving a trait from one plant to another in order to improve plant growth and development. For example, a scientist in this field might work to increase a crop’s resistance to a certain disease or pest.

This program explores the techniques and applications for this modern science in the production of food, fuel, fiber, and landscapes. You will study plants at the molecular level and learn how they grow and respond to disease, insects, and environmental conditions.

Much of your education will take place in the on-campus greenhouses and laboratories, where you could practice manipulating plant genes, develop and use DNA molecular markers, or take part in other hands-on research.
