Faculty-supervised independent or collaborative inquiry into fundamental and applied problems within a discipline that requires students to gather, analyze, and synthesize and interpret data. Students will write or produce a thesis or other professional capstone product, such as a report or portfolio that describes their systematic and in-depth inquiry.

Supervised practical application of previously studied theory in the area of plant breeding. Students will directly interact with scientists directing applied breeding programs on an array of crops.

Research while enrolled for a masters degree under the direction of faculty members.

Students will receive training and develop skills necessary to obtain and fulfill job expectations in a professional position in the plant science industry, academia, and non-profit institutions. Students will build custom job applications and research proposals as an active learning component.

Thesis writing under the direction of the major professor.

Supervised practical application of advanced plant breeding concepts. Students will directly interact with scientists directing applied breeding programs on a diversity of crops and the various breeding strategies used in their improvement.
