Overview

Key Facts

Plant Biology is the study of all aspects of plants including their diversity, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics, evolution, conservation, and ecology. The need for botanical expertise is rapidly increasing in response to habitat loss, species extinctions, invasive species, and global climate change. Additionally, plants provide us with food, shelter, medicines, clothing, and many other products. Thus the demand for plant biologists will never diminish.

The Plant Biology - Systematics and Biodiversity at Southern Illinois University is one of only two such programs in Illinois. Our undergraduate curriculum has a number of features that insure our graduates’ success:

a flexible undergraduate curriculum that includes both B.A. and B.S. degrees,
practical experience and training in modern skills and research techniques,

an atmosphere where undergraduate, graduate students, and faculty interact, and
ample opportunities for undergraduates to participate in outreach and service.
