The Program<br />
<strong>Humboldt</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>University</strong> has the largest<br />
greenhouse of all the state campuses,<br />
containing an extensive collection of plants<br />
from around the world. Students also find<br />
a large collection of pressed plants in the<br />
herbarium.<br />
Several plant growth chambers allow students<br />
to control growing conditions of plants.<br />
Native plants in nearby wilderness areas also<br />
provide excellent opportunity for study.<br />
Our botany graduates do well in these careers:<br />
herbarium curator, naturalist, plant<br />
physiologist, technical writer, plant ecologist,<br />
environmental consultant, botanist, horticulturist,<br />
science librarian, plant pathologist.<br />
Preparation<br />
In high school take biology, chemistry, and<br />
physics (with labs, if possible), algebra<br />
(beginning, intermediate), geometry, and<br />
trigonometry.<br />

Students must earn a minimum grade of<br />
