Show 556 College of Science through Option 2 of the Track A Botany Major, Pre-Natural Medicine. The department also serves students who are interested in baccalaureate-level professional programs in Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, and Range Management. After completing a Pre-Agriculture, Pre-Horticulture, Pre- Forestry, or Pre-Range Management program at Weber State, a student must continue his or her education at another institution in order to obtain a baccalaureate degree in one of 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. The Botany Minor provides valuable support for students majoring in a variety of other fields, including anthropology, geosciences, and zoology. Herbarium The Herbarium of Weber State University is housed on the fourth floor of the Science Lab Building and contains more than 24,000 preserved plant specimens collected from Utah and the Western United States. This 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. 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. This program is described earlier in this College of Science section of the catalog. Biology Composite Teaching Major See the Department of Zoology in this catalog for program requirements. Interdisciplinary Programs The Botany Department participates in the interdisciplinary Urban and Regional Planning Emphasis Program. Students who wish to enroll in this program should indicate their desire to do so with the program coordinator who will help them work out a proper combination of courses to fit their particular needs.
