Sheila’s Answer

Hello Ilya:

Although I did not go to college for botany; however, I did research required botanist courses and they are:

* Mathematics
* Chemistry
* Physics
* Biology

Botany-related positions generally require a bachelor's degree. Most botanists have degrees in botany, plant science, plant biology, or general biology. Courses in social studies and public affairs are also helpful for aspiring botanists interested in conservation issues. These degrees open up opportunities in entry-level positions as laboratory technicians or technical assistants. Many positions require a master's or doctoral degree. A Ph.D. is required for most teaching and research positions in colleges and universities.

Candidates with practical, hands-on experience will have the best job opportunities. Internships, volunteering, and summer work experience at parks, plant nurseries, farms, labs, and experiment stations can help you gain experience and a foot in the door.

I wish you much success on your journey. Best of luck to you!
