About the course

The Department of Botany offers two undergraduate degree programs

Highlights of the Programs

  • Comprehensive curriculum covering all branches of Botany and Genetics, taught by expert faculty and guest lecturers.

  • Internships and special activities designed to enhance 21st-century skills and collaboration abilities, preparing students for the workforce and fostering networking opportunities with various organizations in both the public and private sectors.

  • Fundamental scientific project that helps students develop scientific skills and gain knowledge and experience in research

Undergraduate Program Structure

The undergraduate program lasts for four years, during which students engage in both lectures and practical sessions. The curriculum covers fundamental scientific subjects as well as specialized elective courses. It also includes classes that enhance knowledge in other areas and develop essential 21st-century skills necessary for both life and work.

Students will study essential fundamental science courses and subjects that help develop skills in scientific processes. This will be achieved through lectures and practical sessions, enabling them to pursue specialized courses in the following years.

Students will take specialized courses based on their chosen field (Botany or Genetics), providing them with foundational knowledge and experience. Additionally, they can select elective courses within their field and General Education (GenEd) courses that help develop other essential skills for academic and professional success. Students will also have opportunities for field trips and hands-on fieldwork experiences.

Students can choose to take specialized courses with in-depth academic content and have the opportunity to participate in internships at external organizations, both domestically and internationally. This allows them to exchange experiences and prepare for their future careers in the professional world.

Students will undertake scientific projects, starting from experimental design, writing research project proposals, conducting research, analyzing data, and summarizing findings. They will write reports and present their work scientifically, following the scientific method, under the supervision of faculty members. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to present their work at national and international academic conferences.

For the undergraduate program, students can choose from various study options

Honors Program

Students will take courses in their chosen major (Botany or Genetics) along with additional research work. This program is suitable for those interested in pursuing a Master's or Ph.D. or those who wish to work in research.

Single Major Program

Focuses on courses within the student's chosen major (Botany or Genetics).

Double Major Program
