Penn State’s BS in Plant Science trains students in the biology, genetics, and physiology of plants, with applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and conservation. This program explores plant breeding, soil-plant interactions, and disease resistance mechanisms. Students work in greenhouses, field plots, and molecular labs to investigate everything from plant genetics to biocontrol systems. Graduates are equipped to tackle global challenges like climate-resilient crop development and sustainable horticulture, or to pursue careers in agritech, academia, or public policy.
