A degree in botany can lead to a career in a number of different fields, including agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and environmental science. Botanists may find employment with government agencies, private companies, or research institutions. They may also work as independent consultants.
Why is studying Botany important?
Botany is important because it helps us to understand the natural world and the plants that we rely on for food, medicine, and other products. Botanists study how plants grow and develop, which can help us to improve crop yields, develop new medicines, and find ways to conserve endangered plant species. Botany also helps us to understand the evolution of plants and the role that they play in ecosystems.

Undergraduate programs typically offer a bachelor of science (B.S.) in botany, while graduate programs may offer a master of science (M.S.) or doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) in botany. Programs vary in their focus, but all provide students with a comprehensive education in plant biology.
What will I study during my Botany degree?
