Bachelor of Arts [B.A]/Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Plant Biology-Ecology and Management] From Wayne State College

Plant life exists everywhere, from the driest deserts to the wettest tropics. Vegetation covers the earth, from the finest grasses to the heartiest trees. Plants are grown for food or simply for looks. They can be used to keep soil from eroding.

 As a plant biologist, you’ll get to study the cellular makeup of plants, discovering uses for them and perhaps even improving their lifespan.  Consider majoring in plant biology-ecology and management at Wayne State College. This program is a partnership program between Wayne State College and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. You’ll get a solid foundation in the biological sciences in your first three years at WSC (90 hours), then cap your education with exposure to experts in agronomy at UNL.

 In the Life Sciences Department, we foster a climate of intellectual curiosity. As a student here, you’ll develop crucial laboratory skills that are applicable to a variety of science and health fields. Our science labs are among the best in the state and are used regularly by a range of classes to complete a rigorous science curriculum under the supervision of our distinguished faculty. The Carhart Science Building features biological, physical, and chemical science laboratories with cutting-edge equipment, while our human cadaver lab provides students the opportunity to learn about human anatomy and physiology beyond the books.
