Undergraduate Programs
The Department of Plant and Microbial Biology offers two undergraduate majors that lead to a Bachelor of Science Degree. The majors are administered at the college level by the Office of Instruction and Student Affairs.
Genetics and Plant Biology
GPB emphasizes the study of plants from the
molecular genetic to the organismal levels.
Microbial Biology
MB focuses on small life forms such as microbes, viruses, and fungi that make up the majority of planteary biomass.
Student Learning at PMB
Undergraduates studying at the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology acquire much-desired skills and training through science-based, laboratory curricula.
Outstanding teaching
