Students who are energized by both the precision of the laboratory and the practical challenges of the field will thrive in this plant science curriculum. By bridging the gap between molecular biology and agricultural application, you will develop the technical expertise necessary to address global food security, sustainable fuel production, and environmental resilience. This degree is designed for those who enjoy rigorous scientific inquiry and want to understand how plants respond to insects, pathogens, and changing environmental conditions at the genetic level.

Applied Research and Technical Proficiency

The program emphasizes a 'DNA meets dirt' approach, ensuring that theoretical knowledge is constantly reinforced through hands-on experience in on-campus computer-controlled greenhouses and specialized plant science laboratories. You will engage in:

• Manipulating plant genes to enhance specific traits like pest resistance and growth efficiency.
• Developing and utilizing DNA molecular markers for advanced breeding programs.
• Participating in active research initiatives covering everything from biopesticides to tissue culture techniques.

Recognized as a STEM-designated program, graduates are well-positioned for high-impact careers in biostatistics, clinical research, and agricultural biotechnology management, with the added benefit of eligibility for extended STEM OPT opportunities for international students.

In Moscow, students study on an ivy-covered campus within a supportive and welcoming community. Campus life includes clubs, sports, housing, dining, lectures, performances and showcases. The university also offers online classes through Campus 360 and in-person study locations in Boise, Coeur d’Alene and Idaho Falls, giving students options beyond the Moscow campus.

The University of Idaho is Idaho’s first and only Carnegie R1 research university.
