Welcome to the Doctor of Plant Health (DPH) website!

The world critically needs more sustainable production systems for food, fuel, fiber and landscapes. The DPH program is a professional program that offers an exciting opportunity to those who want to make a difference in these production systems.

The DPH program is only the second of its kind in the US. It was established as a result of input from a broad spectrum of employers who strongly support the need for this professional training. Graduates from the program will be in great demand in a broad job market. We are excited to be involved in educating students who will have great potential to contribute to these critical needs worldwide.

If you are planning to register for graduate classes, this has involved a lot of thought on your part.  Please take a few more minutes and explore our website and watch our video.  We invite you to contact us and tell us about your goals and what you'd like to pursue as a career.  We would appreciate the opportunity to share how a Doctor of Plant Health degree will provide you the future you're hoping for.

DPH graduates have a broad core of interdisciplinary know ledge that enables them to address challenges affecting growth and production of plants.

View our newsletter to meet some of our students leading this new agricultural career into the future.
