The Bachelor of Science degree in Plant Biology provides classroom, laboratory, and field experience in the fundamental areas of the plant sciences. Undergraduates majoring in Plant Biology select major courses that are tailored to their interests within the discipline and are required to have a supervised research or internship experience. Majors, as pre-professionals in the plant sciences, are prepared for advanced study in plant biology and other biological fields, as well as in the applied plant sciences, such as horticulture, crop science, plant pathology, natural resource management, and conservation.
Students can choose to pursue a general major with courses in different areas of Plant Biology, or can specialize their study in one of the following areas: Ethnobotany, Plant Physiology and Molecular Biology, and Plant Systematics and Ecology. The Bachelor of Science in Plant Biology with a double major in another life science or applied plant science is possible, as is a double major in a humanities and social sciences discipline.
For additional information please consult the program website.
Students interested in this major should not take BIO 120 at an NC community college, which transfers as a non-major course that will not earn credit towards this degree. Instead, students should take the major course, PB 250, at NC State after completing their associate degree.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student.
