The Field of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology at Cornell offers graduate degree programs in plant pathology and the biology, genetics and evolution of fungi and oomycetes. To reflect the diversity of academic interests and activities, the Field is organized into three program areas:
- Plant Pathology (including the concentrations Ecological and Environmental Plant Pathology and Plant Disease Epidemiology)
- Plant-Microbe Biology
- Fungal and Oomycete Biology
In addition to the core requirements and expectations of all students in the Field of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology, each program of study has its own core expectations and requirements. At the same time, there is overlap among programs of study, and the boundaries are purposely diffuse to maximize interaction. Students and faculty interact frequently, without regard to program boundaries, and take advantage of the synergies possible by exploring the intersections across programs of study.
