BIOTECHNICIAN TRAINING PROGRAM The Department of Botany participates with the Departments of Microbiology and Zoology in the Associate of Science degree and 3rd year Certificate in Biotechnician training for the biotechnology industry. HERBARIUM The Herbarium of Weber State is housed on the fourth floor of the Science Lab Building and contains more than 18,000 preserved plant specimens collected from Utah and the Western United States. This modern computerized collection serves as an important reference for students, faculty, biologists, and all others who need to know the identity of plants, or learn something about their geographic distributions and ecological associations. It also serves as the repository of the plants collected for the Institute of American Indian Botany. INSTITUTE OF AMERICAN INDIAN BOTANY The Institute is dedicated to the study of American Indian Botany and provides a place where all of those who have interest can learn, conduct research, teach, and preserve for generations yet to come, this segment of our great American heritage.
