The MSc and PhD programs in the Department of Plant Agriculture offer specialization in four broad fields of the Plant Sciences: Plant Breeding and Genetics has long been a key focus of our faculty and students. Through breeding and biotechnology, Guelph researchers help society by developing new field-crop, fruit, ornamental and vegetable cultivars that are grown in Canada and worldwide. Also, Plant Agriculture faculty and students seek both to understand the fundamental mechanisms that enable plant improvements and to discover novel methodologies and technologies that will be the foundation for future advances.

The program requires 5.00 credits, including 2.50 credits of required courses and 2.50 credits from the list of restricted electives.
