Collaboration is the foundation of the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology (PMB). We foster strong ties with a number of other departments across the college and beyond to give our students the best possible education.
We focus on the biology of plants and of microorganisms, while partnering with the College of Sciences to support graduate and undergraduate programs in Biological Sciences, Microbiology, and Genetics. Our department also offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in Plant Biology, as well as our interdepartmental Microbiology graduate degrees.
Our department is internationally-recognized, with faculty who have won numerous awards for teaching and scholarly excellence. And our graduates go on to distinguish themselves in careers in academia, government, industry, and environmental and public service organizations. We are committed to student success, and it shows.
