Department of Plant Sciences and Landscape Architecture
We offer Master’s and Doctoral degrees with strong emphasis on research in conjunction with a faculty member. Research opportunities vary from biotechnology and ornamental plant improvement to pest and risk management and landscape architecture.
Before acceptance to our graduate program, candidates must identify a faculty member that will agree to serve as their graduate advisor. Only students that have established such an agreement with a faculty member can be accepted into a program. Accepted students may receive a graduate student assistantship, which provides a stipend and tuition waiver. Graduate assistantships require that students serve the department through research activities or as teaching assistants or both.
