Course Requirements
There are no specific course requirements for entrance to the Plant Sciences major. You need to be in good academic standing (minimum GPA of 2.0) and get support from the department.
Not at University Park Campus?
If you are making good progress towards the major and are essentially following the schedule, you may be eligible to change to University Park for your 4th semester. However, if you desire to stay at another location for the 4th semester and you can still develop a full schedule with courses that all count towards graduation in the Plant Sciences major, that is okay. Requests for changing to UP for the 4th semester are handled on a case-by-case basis.
