Plant Pathology (M.S.)

Student looking at plant in greenhouse

The Master of Plant Pathology degree is a research-based academic degree programs that demand creative scholarship, technologic skill, and philosophic soundness. These programs emphasize the development of scientists with the ability to fill leadership positions in research, teaching, outreach, and administration. To achieve such goals of excellence, the student must be highly motivated and must make a commitment to the understanding of plant pathology so that biological principles can be developed and applied. Most of our students integrate both fundamental and applied aspects into their research projects and academic programs of study, giving them a truly broad-based experience as well as a competitive edge when entering the job market. Programs of study in our M.S. and Ph.D. programs are very flexible, and our faculty work closely with each student to design an individualized program that meets the student’s career goals.
