Recommended Undergraduate Courses

Students planning to enroll in the Plant Medicine Program should try to take as many of the following courses (or equivalent) as possible as undergraduates. It is understood that students coming from non-agricultural colleges may not have had access to many of the agricultural courses as undergraduates. Lack of any of these courses on a student's transcript does not influence the admission of the student into the Plant Medicine Program as long as the student agrees to make up any important deficiencies. Several of these courses, however, can be taken directly at the graduate level. Courses shown in bold type are highly recommended.
