Monk, Head; Assistant Professor E. LaGrande Hobbs, Kimball S. Erdman; Instructor Bert W. Winterton. In addition to providing courses in principles of plant biology for general students, the botany department offers programs leading toward professional careers. Teaching majors as well as departmental majors and minors are available in this area. A student majoring in Botany should take in addition to the area requirements the following courses: Botany 1, 11, 2, 21, 110, 111, 120, 163, 191; Biology 111; Chemistry 1, 2, 3 or 24, 25, 26 and 107; Mathematics 14 and 18; Physics 5 or 51, 52; Zoology 1, 11, or 4. Students wishing a specialized field of Botany such as Plant Pathology, Plant Physiology or Taxonomy, should select with the aid of their adviser additional courses as are deemed necessary. Teaching majors in botany should take the same courses advised for departmental majors except that education courses necessary for certification are to be substituted for electives and certain other courses as recommended by the adviser. Minors in Botany should take a minimum of twenty-five credit hours in this subject. Courses of Instruction 1.
