Master of Science [M.S] [Plant, Soil and Environmental Sciences] From University of Maine

Graduate students working in the areas of plant, soil, and environmental sciences can earn the Master of Science degree through programs in Plant, Soil, and Environmental Sciences; Horticulture; and Ecology and Environmental Sciences. The Doctor of Philosophy degree can be pursued through programs in Ecology and Environmental Sciences, Biological Sciences, Forest Resources, Plant Biology, and Plant Sciences. Several of our faculty have cooperating appointments in other departments, providing some of our students with additional degree options. Graduate training programs in these areas are built from foundations in soil science, agronomy, plant physiology, ecology, microbiology, plant pathology, and statistics. Prospective graduate students should have completed course work in chemistry, mathematics, and biology, and in subject matter areas closely related to interests of the student and his/her advisor.
