The Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a three-year undergraduate degree which enables each student to develop his or her own interests in a science subject (science major) and related subjects. Students have the flexibility to combine their major subject with other science subjects, as well as subjects from other disciplines across the University.

A degree in plant sciences is a three-year degree that broadly covers all relevant aspects of plant sciences. Further studies allow students to specialise in medicinal plant science, plant biotechnology or ecology and biodiversity.

As a Biology student at Hanover, you will become immersed in the study of living things. Gain valuable field experience in the remarkable forests, wildlife refuges and state parks located nearby and on our 650-acre campus overlooking the Ohio River – an ever-changing outdoor classroom. Work directly with professors in class and modern labs and participate in the Biology Department's Summer Research Program, which provides you with real research experience working directly with top scientists in the fields of Animal Behavior, Evolution, Botany, Immunology, Development, Genetics or Systematics. Our students receive outstanding preparation for many careers, including medicine, dentistry, veterinary and related fields, and have a remarkable record of acceptance into professional schools and in establishing notable careers in the biological sciences.

With a Bachelor of Plant Protection and Quarantine Assessment, students diagnose the pest risks for crop plants, identify the pests (Plant pathogens, insect-pests, mite pests, weed), learn about plant protection technologies such as integrated pest management, agro-technologies, biological control, chemical control and other, and gain a knowledge regarding growing healthy crop plants.

Structure and Function; Explain the structure and function of cells, tissues, organs and their organization in the whole plant. Mechanisms and Responses; Explain the mechanistic basis of plant growth and development and physiological responses to biotic and abiotic factors. Form and Function; Describe the diversity of plant form and function. Trait Expression and Inheritance; Describe the expression and inheritance of traits.

The Department of Plant Science at California State University, Fresno is located in the nation's most productive agricultural valley. Our graduates acquire a sound academic background that is deeply rooted in field-based experience in the broad array of disciplines within Plant Science. These include pomology, olericulture, agronomy, environmental horticulture, soils, irrigation, economic entomology, plant pathology, weed science, and mechanized agriculture. Our faculty hold advanced degrees in these disciplines and regularly integrates this knowledge directly in the field and laboratories. The university's 1000-acre agricultural field laboratory, greenhouse facilities, and the Jordan Agricultural Research Center are home to cutting-edge horticultural and agronomic practices, using the latest innovations in crop production, mechanization, irrigation, soil fertility, propagation, and pest management.

Good stewardship of crops and land has never been more important. Increasing the quantity and the quality of crop yields, and doing so in a way that's sustainable year after year, can be the difference between plenty and privation.

The Crop Production and Technologies program offers its students both technical and practical training based on numerical methods. As with leading universities around the world, the program is in English. Students are offered the opportunity to specialize in plant breeding, soil management, plant protection, horticulture, field crops, agricultural biotechnology. In addition, they will gain experience with internship applications during their undergraduate education.

The Department of Entomology & Plant Pathology offers undergraduate Entomology majors three degree options that provide hands-on opportunities, interactive learning, and potential employment within the department, so you’ll be prepared with practical experience for nearly any entomological career. The department also offers graduate students two masters options and two doctoral options.

Plant and Soil Sciences, through theoretical and practical training, prepares students to tackle real-world problems by integrating and applying knowledge they learn from different disciplines. This program includes rigorous training in biology and laboratory methods.

The Agronomy, Crop, and Soil Science Program provide excellent connections with local and international Agricultural companies researching the farm on campus and coordinating internship and employment opportunities throughout their industry network.

The mission of the Department is to assist the students on undergraduate and graduate levels to become decisive, hardworking and dynamic agricultural engineers specialized in Plant Protection.
