Why major in Plant Biology? COMING SOON Research Opportunities Plant Biology REQUIRES all of our majors to participate in research. Getting hands-on experience helping faculty acquire new knowledge at a field site or in a laboratory is the best way to learn science. We offer PBIO 4960R and an Independent Research Support Award. Learn more Careers with a Plant Biology Degree Success after UGA is extremely important to us. Many of our majors have gone on to continue their education at top graduate and medical schools, such as Emory University. They have also pursued careers as plant breeding research professionals, medical research technicians, and more. A degree in Plant Biology opens doors to diverse career opportunities, such as doing research at universities, government laboratories, and at biotech companies; teaching at the high school, college, or university level; management and interpretation as staff biologists with state and federal agencies; and administration and sales with plant and plant product related industries. As science and technology evolve, new opportunities are created.
