Botany

Mission Statement

In providing a quality undergraduate education to students of Weber State University, the Department of Botany seeks to maximize opportunities for the promotion of effective education and communication about the value and intellectual appeal of plants. We attempt to inspire students to pursue the study of plants as an intellectual endeavor in understanding life's major component - the plants, with their physically and functionally dominant place in the world. In addition, botanists offer expertise about plants to policy-makers involved in agriculture, conservation, and environmental protection. We also believe that a more knowledgeable public will be able to make more informed decisions with regard to plant derived products and environmental issues. This understanding should also lead to a paradigm shift that garners greater support for botany as a vitally important profession.
