The Department of Plant Pathology offers the following degree programs:
Bachelor of Science
The Plant Pathology Department collaborates in the Plant Protection undergraduate program. This interdisciplinary program with the departments of Plant Sciences and Entomology provides students a broad based experience in both the production of crops and management of pests. Students from this multi-disciplinary program may find employment in industry or private business, or they may continue their education with graduate studies.
