About Field Botany Concentration in Ball State University

A constantly changing Earth supports an increasing human population that continues to demand more and more resources. The foundation for many of these resources is plants.

Plants are the primary energy source for virtually all other species on Earth. Plants also define the habitat for most species on land. A greater understanding of field botany is necessary if we are going to address problems such as environmental degradation, increasing species extinctions, and the need to produce more food for a growing human population.

As a field botany student, you will study plants as well as fungi and algae to gain a strong understanding of the field. In addition to traditional classroom experiences, you will also find many opportunities for practical experiences through participation in faculty-directed research, internships, or career-related summer employment. Your degree will open the door to a number of careers.
