The Plant Science major prepares students for graduate school and careers in the private and public sectors working in the fields of plant breeding, biotechnology, plant pathology, and weed science. Students learn principles of plant biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, plant genetics, and crop breeding and apply these to better understand how to improve plant productivity and sustainability.
Virginia Tech encourages prospective students to seek the most challenging high school courses possible. Students taking International Baccalaureate (IB) courses will be considered competitive for freshman admissions. An applicant's entire academic profile will be reviewed holistically.
To receive credit for International Baccalaureate (IB) examinations, an official transcript of examination results should be forward to the Registrar's Office directly from the issuing institution. To determine how many credits you may receive please visit the Registrar's website.
All first-year and transfer students accepting admission to Virginia Tech and seeking college credits for IB examinations must arrange for an official transcript of examination results to be sent to Virginia Tech by the IB Offices once available.
