Students who plan to enroll in the Doctor of Plant Health Program should have many of the following courses or their equivalent as undergraduates. It is recognized that students from some institutions will have had little or no access to some of these courses. Lack of these courses does not affect the admission of the student into the Program, but the student may need to remedy important deficiencies, and some may be taken at the graduate level.
