Plant Biology

扩大博士学位建议在霍华德大学生物系内进行植物生物学领域的培训。 该部门有一个重要的植物学教师群体，反映了广泛的研究领域。 这个部门（和大学作为一个整体）多年来在少数民族科学研究生教育领域做出了重大贡献。 此外，霍华德大学有着丰富的学术卓越的历史，并作为少数民族机构的领导者。 考虑到这些因素，与姐妹本科院校的联盟网络的进一步发展在这里描述：这种安排的目的是指导有才华的学生走向研究生教育和植物生物学的特定领域。 这个项目有潜力产生无与伦比的影响，少数民族植物科学家。

Expansion of Ph.D. training within the Department of Biology at Howard University specifically in the area of plant biology is proposed. The department has a significant group of botany faculty which reflect a broad range of research areas. This department (and the University as a whole) has made significant contributions in the area of minority graduate education in science over the years. Also, Howard University has a rich history of academic excellence and serving as a leader among minority institutions. Given these considerations, further development of a consortium network with sister undergraduate institutions is described here: the purpose of this arrangement is to direct talented students toward graduate education and the specific area of plant biology. This project has the potential for unmatched impact in producing minority plant scientists.
