The Department of Forestry provides Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy programs specializing in plant breeding, genetics, and forest biotechnology. The Plant Breeding, Genetics, and Biotechnology (PBGB) graduate program at Michigan State University operates across multiple departments. Students investigate agronomic, forestry, and horticultural species while selecting from diverse academic offerings. Launched in 1981, this program awards both master's and doctoral degrees.
This initiative involves faculty collaboration from MSU's Forestry, Horticulture, Plant Biology, and Plant, Soil and Microbial Sciences departments. Participants benefit from cutting-edge labs, research greenhouses, agricultural fields, and specialized campus equipment. Faculty members consistently secure competitive funding for research initiatives. Incoming students enjoy considerable freedom in choosing advisors, committee members, and thesis topics from our accomplished faculty network. Recognized for excellence in plant science research, education, and outreach, MSU offers PBGB students robust support systems and extensive resources.
