Show Botany ticulture, pharmacology, and other applied arts and sciences, but also because an understanding of plant life is related to all life. Employment Opportunities — A baccalaureate degree in Botany is designed to prepare a student for a variety of professional careers in secondary schools or institutions of higher learning, in government service, in industry, or in research institutions. In addition to the multitude of traditional areas where botanists are employed such as researcher, teacher, conservationist, plant physiologist, plant pathologist, plant geneticist, mycologist, aquatic biologist, horticulturist, taxonomist, museum curator, park naturalist, park ranger and ecologist, the field of environmental science provides many new opportunities for botanists. Pre-Professional Training— Botany is an important adjunct to many professional careers in soil science, horticulture, agronomy, food technology, marine biology, environmental science, water resource management, weed control technology and pure and applied research. The Department of Botany offers pre-professional training in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and range management. Students must continue their education at another institution in order to obtain baccalaureate degrees in these fields. The catalog of the school to which the student plans to transfer should be consulted as a guide in registering for courses at Weber State College.
