For students interested in careers in plant biology, plant pathology, biotechnology, environmental biology, natural resources, conservation, field biology, agronomy, plant breeding, freshwater biology, or cell biology, the Department of Environmental and Plant Biology offers major programs in plant biology, environmental biology, applied ecology, and cell biology and biotechnology, and a research/study abroad program spotlighting different physiographic regions and their plant life.

Global Studies in Plant Biology is one of only a few programs in the United States to integrate study abroad with opportunity for research by undergraduate natural science majors. Although the ecological and geographic theme will change from year to year, the program is designed to spotlight physiographic regions and their plant life through a series of three interrelated courses: an introductory seminar, an intensive international field course, and a laboratory research course.
