Undergraduate courses
The department is committed to excellence in the classroom, in the laboratory and in field courses. A number of Plant Biology faculty members have received awards for their contributions to undergraduate education.
Because the department transects all of biology, from molecules to ecosystems, faculty members participate in courses that cover the entire field of biology. These courses range from freshman seminars and introductory biology to molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, developmental biology, evolution, ecology, population biology, and bioinformatics.
