PhD in Plant Biology

Washington State University

Our plant biology students generally focus on research in the broad areas of plant physiology, ecology, evolution, systematics, and molecular biology. Our program offers teaching training and grant writing courses. Other professional development opportunities include weekly reading groups, ecolunch meetings, a graduate student research symposium and frequent graduate seminars. The School of Biological Sciences graduate program offers outstanding training opportunities for students seeking M.S. or Ph.D. degrees in biology or plant biology. We also offer a non-thesis M.S. degree in biology. We currently have approximately 75 graduate students advised by faculty in the School. The training of graduate students is a major emphasis of faculty in the School of Biological Sciences. We welcome you to contact directly individual faculty members or direct your questions to the graduate coordinator within the School of Biological Sciences. For more information, please see our Graduate Student Handbook.
