Our plant biology students generally focus on research in the broad areas of plant physiology, ecology, evolution, systematics, and molecular biology. The School of Biological Sciences (SBS) at Washington State University (WSU) offers graduate programs leading to the MS and PhD degrees. Our graduate programs are an important part of the overall research program in plant and animal sciences at WSU. The state-of-the-art school and campus facilities and the collegial atmosphere of SBS and the university provide an ideal setting for the dedicated student to obtain interdisciplinary training in modern science, as well as mastery of his or her own speciality. The school provides students with opportunities and support to work closely with leaders of their areas in both laboratory and field settings.
