• The plant biology graduate faculty is a diverse, active, collegial, and well-funded group representing vast research approaches in plant biology, from molecules to ecosystems. They engage in interdisciplinary research projects and collaborate with faculty members in many departments across NC State. Their plant biologists (including USDA-ARS scientists) can be found in the Departments of Crop and Soil Sciences, Horticultural Science, Molecular and Structural Biochemistry, Entomology and Plant Pathology, and Forestry and Environmental Resources. They also have several associate faculty members from agricultural biotechnology companies located in the Research Triangle.
  • NC State offers three graduate degrees in plant biology: a doctorate (Ph.D.), a thesis master’s degree (M.S.), and a non-thesis master’s degree (M.R.).
