MA/MS in Plant Sciences

Plant Sciences is a customizable graduate program built around Wyoming as a working classroom, with instructors based in Laramie and at outlying research stations in three Wyoming towns. Research areas include weed science and management. Funding is a feature of the program, because a large majority of graduate students hold assistantships that provide a stipend, tuition and fees. Some students complete research through the extension locations or in their home county when a project allows it. The page lists the Laramie campus as the place of study. The page covers the doctoral track as well. Graduate students at the University of Wyoming work closely with faculty advisors, and the program is designed to prepare them for professional practice, further study or research careers. Prospective students should review the department's application steps and talk with potential advisors early, since the match between a student's interests and faculty expertise influences the experience and the funding options. Information requests and campus visits can be arranged through the program page.
