The Department of Plant Sciences offers two graduate degrees – the Master of Science with a major in plant sciences and the Doctor of Philosophy with a major in plant, soil, and environmental sciences. For additional information, please visit the departmental homepage. Inquiries may be directed to the Chair, Graduate Committee, Department of Plant Sciences, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Tennessee 37996-4561, or plantsciences@utk.edu. 

Landscape Architecture Major, MLA

The Master of Landscape Architecture is an intercollegiate program composed of faculty from the College of Architecture and Design, the Herbert College of Agriculture, and related colleges and disciplines. Faculty in the College of Architecture and Design and the Herbert College of Agriculture are responsible for the core curriculum. The first professional degree (MLA Track I) is largely designed to prepare students as critically engaged and well-trained practitioners. The post-professional degree (MLA Track II) provides opportunities for research-oriented studies located in subdisciplines as well as self-directed research in alternative areas of interest. (For a full program description, see Landscape Architecture in the College of Architecture and Design section of this catalog.)

Statistics Minor

The department also participates in a program designed to give Plant Sciences graduate students an opportunity to develop a minor in statistics with course content relevant to their major field of study. See Intercollegiate Graduate Statistics and Data Science Program (IGSDSP) for program description (http://www.bus.utk.edu/stat/igsp/overview.htm), a list of participating departments (http://www.bus.utk.edu/stat/igsp/programs.htm), and departmentally approved courses (http://bus.utk.edu/stat/igsp/pss.htm).
