Magister Fitopatologii

The Department offers the only Plant Pathology graduate program in the state. It is accredited through the Graduate School of the University of Arkansas by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Students can enter the program in Plant Pathology from many areas of study, but a biological sciences background is beneficial. This program allows advanced training in plant pathology, emphasizing the biological control of diseases and weeds, breeding for disease resistance in major crops, diseases of fruits, vegetables, crops, mycology, bacteriology, and nematology virology, and physiology of pathogens.
