Overview

The Botany degree at The University of Maine aims to expand and increase current knowledge about plants in order to solve problems in many fields including agriculture, ecology, and horticulture.

Key Features

Both the B.S. and B.A. degrees provide a strong background in botany, but the B.S. degree requires more math, chemistry, and physics and is pursued by most of our students.

The Botany program at The University of Maine is solidly grounded in the basic sciences (general biology, chemistry, math, and physics) needed to understand the latest research in plant biology.
