Arts, Letters and Science — Botany Arts, Letters and Science — Botany courses which are essential for many professional careers. A major in Botany is designed to prepare a student for a variety of professional careers in secondary schools or institutions of higher learning, in governmental service, in industry, or in research institutions. Botanists are employed in positions such as teacher, conservationist, range manager, plant geneticist, plant physiologist, plant pathologist, mycologist, plant quarantine inspector, taxonomist, museum curator, park ranger, park naturalist, and forest research. Botany is an important adjunct to many professional careers in soil science, horticulture, agronomy, food technology, marine biology, environmental science, water resources, research and weed control technology. This department offers professional training in Agriculture, Forestry and Wildlife 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. Faculty advisers are available in the department to assist students planning their program of studies. It is suggested that students majoring in Botany select, with the aid of an adviser, the required supporting courses which better prepare them for graduate work or professional work at the baccalaureate level. Botany Department Major—A student majoring in Botany will be required to take in addition to the area requirements, 45 credits including the following required courses: Botany 110, 112, 310, 320, 345, 362, 499A, 499B, 499C.

Botany Teaching Major—Teaching majors are required to take the same botany classes as botany departmental majors. In addition, the following supporting courses are required: Zoology 381; Chemistry 111, 112, 113; Mathematics 105, 106; Physics 101; Zoology 160 or 211. Botany Teaching Minor—Teaching minors in Botany should take the following: Botany 110 and 112; 160, or 361, or 362; 421 or 320; Zoology 381 and five to six hours selected from the following: Botany 310, 345, 347, 350, 351, 411, 415, 423, 434, 480, 495, 499A, 499B, 499C. Scholarship—A "D" grade in Botany courses will not be accepted toward the requirements for graduation with a Botany major or minor. A student will be required to get a "C" grade or better in prerequisite courses before he can proceed to the course based on that prerequisite. Biology Composite Teaching Major—See Biology Composite Teaching Major, School of Education. Pre-Agriculture—Two years of a pre-professional general agriculture program are offered at Weber State College. Basic requirements—For Animal Science majors: Botany 110, 221; Zoology 201, 211, 230.
