This interdisciplinary minor in Plant Pathology is designed to aid student preparation for employment in agricultural and horticultural sciences requiring knowledge of plant health and to prepare students for graduate studies in fields of plant biology. This minor may be designed to supplement majors in any field of the biological sciences.
Plant Pathology is a science concerned with understanding the causes of plant diseases and the utilization of this knowledge for the development of ecologically sound and sustainable control strategies. Students completing this minor will gain knowledge of microbe-plant interactions, molecular mechanisms of pathogenesis and genetic resistance, abiotic stresses, and environmental factors influencing control of plant disease.
The minor in Plant Pathology requires 19 credits in approved courses in addition to the major requirements of the student's choice.
