School of Life Sciences
The Master of Science degree in plant biology and conservation functions as a unique collaboration between ASU and the Desert Botanical Garden, a private botanical garden focused on plants of the Southwest and located only 2.5 miles from the ASU Tempe campus. This program provides a foundation for jobs in plant conservation in both the public and private sectors, as well as for continued academic training.
Our program is the only one like it in the Southwest and is one of only two in the United States. Students with a passion for the Sonoran Desert and other unique Arizona biomes work with ASU faculty and DBG research staff to develop their own conservation-related project, driven by their field-collected data.
