Description
Summary:The University of Florida (UF) established a certificate in Plant Pest Risk Assessment and Management in 2006. This multidisciplinary certificate is coordinated by the UF Plant Medicine Program and applicable to graduate degrees (D.P.M., M.S., and Ph.D.) across departments and colleges. The objective of the certificate program is to provide opportunities for graduate students to develop the personal and professional skills required to effectively lead and conduct plant pest risk assessment and management on local, national, and international levels. Sixteen graduate credit hours are required for the certificate, including a capstone course (Principles of Plant Pest Risk Assessment and Management), a colloquium, elective courses (technical and policy) and internships. A wide variety of internships and careers are available with state, federal, and international plant health regulatory agencies.
