What You'll Study

Botany at Union takes you beyond the classroom and into the living world. You'll develop deep knowledge of plant life — from anatomy and physiology to ecology and taxonomy — alongside the field and laboratory skills that serious botanical science requires.

Several students sit at lab benches in a classroom using microscopes and examining papers, with laptops, notebooks, and laboratory equipment visible—immersed in their Conservation Biology degree studies.
A male instructor stands at the front of a classroom, pointing to diagrams on a whiteboard. A projector displays a slide titled “Mosses Bryophyta.” MSc Biology students listen, with microscopes on tables in front of them.

Caring for Creation, One Plant at a Time

At Union, studying plants is part of a larger calling to understand and care for creation. Faculty guide you through the science of the plant world while nurturing a Christian worldview that sees stewardship and scientific inquiry as deeply connected — preparing you for a career that reflects both.
