The BA program is a liberal arts degree with an
emphasis on understanding modern concepts in plant sciences,
particularly related to the role of botany in society and the
uniqueness of the ecology of Hawai'i. The BA degree provides
students flexibility to pursue a broad liberal arts education,
and still gain a sound foundation in botany with an area of
particular interest. Courses are available in conservation,
ecology, ethnobotany, molecular evolution, physiology, structural
botany, systematics, and selected faculty research specialties.
The courses applied toward the botany major may be selected
with the student's interest area in mind. (Students planning
a career in science and those intending to pursue graduate studies
should consider our BS Program)
