| To Whom it May Concern: My name is Shaun Broderick. I work for Linden Nursery in Lindon, Utah under Ed Platt. I have worked there for several years, and I'm now trying to decide where I should go to pursue my education. I would like to earn a Masters or Doctorate Degree in Botany specializing in breeding and genetic modification. After this Fall semester I will have my Associates of Science Degree at Utah Valley State College. I'm looking to transfer to a school this coming Spring that will provide a comprehensive program in the profession I wish to pursue. Could you provide my with some suggestions of good universities that offer that kind of program? Thank you for your time. Regards, Shaun Broderick |
| There are many programs nationwide such as the Plant Breeding and Genetics program at Michigan State for example -- http://www.hrt.msu.edu/pbgp/th... You can bring up more schools using google to search for, say: plant breeding genetics graduate university program as search term, or you might find some useful information at a site such as gradschools.com where you can begin to sort and identify possibililties and then contact the school directly for more information. http://www.gradschools.com/sea... To some extent your choice may depend on what type of plant you are interested in working on and your background preparation so far. I would suggest you work with your professors at Utah Valley State College (and possibly even check back with your high school guidance offices at a time of year when they are not too busy) to identify and investigate programs that might interest you and be a good match. Best of luck with your studies! |
