Overview

Program Overview

The primary purpose of the B.Sc. Environmental and Plant Biology Major from Ohio University, offered through Honors Tutorial College is to serve as preparation for graduate study. Students will receive a degree of Bachelor of Science from the Honors Tutorial College.

Tutorials

Students are required to complete eight tutorials, including two devoted to the thesis for three credit hours each. In maintaining an open format to permit students to develop tutorial-based degree programs to challenge and to inspire their creativity and learning, only key departmental and extradepartmental courses in chemistry and mathematics are required for providing foundational knowledge. The rest of the program involves student-driven tutorials with faculty.

In addition to the tutorials, the student must complete the Tier I English requirement; the core plant biology courses; courses in professional development; independent research; extradepartmental courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics; and an appropriate number of approved electives. Internships and/or study abroad may be included within the program with special permission from the director of studies (credit will only be given once). Honors Tutorial students take a minimum of 15 hours per semester.

Opportunities Upon Graduation

Most students graduating from the program go to top-quality graduate schools across the country or abroad, leading to M.S. and PH.D. degrees. A few pursue employment directly in private industry or governmental agencies dealing with agriculture/horticulture/floriculture, biotechnology or pharmaceutical firms, conservation agencies and museums of natural history, environmental consulting firms, food companies, plant nurseries, greenhouses, botanical gardens and arboreta.
