Applied Botany

6 credits · Undergraduate

Applied Botany: Applied Botany is designed to relate the basic questions of botany to the practical questions faced by many horticulturists. Wherever possible, the course will attempt to bridge the gap between issues of botany and the “real world” where plants and people interact. Students are exposed to a wide variety of fundamental botany topics including botanical nomenclature, cellular processes, climactic factors, as well as a broad variety of botanical structures and functions. As an introductory course, "Applied Botany" acts as a foundation to many of the other courses in the Certificate Program.
