BOTANY / 103


 For admission to graduate standing a student should present credits equiva-
lent to those required of undergraduate majors in the department. Under-
graduate major requirements include: 36 credits in botany, a course with
laboratory in genetics, mathematics through differential calculus, one year of
college physics, and chemistry through organic. Those admitted without full
equivalents of an undergraduate major will be required to make up deficiencies
by passing appropriate courses early in their graduate programs. A reading
knowledge of a foreign language and credit for basic courses in zoology and
bacteriology are desirable. The program of graduate study for each student
will be determined by a supervisory committee.
 For advisory purposes all graduate students will be given an examination
 covering the broad general field of botany by the department during or soon
 after their first quarter of residence. The results of this examination will be
 used by the supervisory committee in planning the student's program. Each
 student pursuing the Ph.D. degree will be required to pass a written depart-
 mental examination on designated major areas in botany prior to the qualifying
 examination.
 There are, in addition to the facilities of the department for graduate work,
 the following special resources that may be utilized in support of graduate
 student training and research: (1) the Florida Agricultural Experiment Sta-
 tion and its branch stations, (2) the specialized facilities for radiation biology
 in the Nuclear Sciences Building, (3) the Marine Sciences Center on the Gulf
 of Mexico for studies in estuarine and marine habitats, (4) the resources of the
 Welaka Conservation Reserve, and (5) the Center for Tropical Agriculture
 which can support studies in tropical and subtropical areas.
