Students may also take courses in program areas of various departments including: Biology, Biophysics & Computational Biology, Molecular & Integrative Physiology, Microbiology, Cell & Structural Biology, Agronomy, Plant Pathology, Horticulture, and Crop Sciences.

In addition, numerous seminars covering special topics in plant biology are offered. Other departments and training programs also have weekly seminars that are open to plant biology students and several interdepartmental journal clubs meet regularly. Students are encouraged to interact with seminar speakers by joining them for lunch and socializing with them after their seminars. Some seminar speakers are invited and entertained by the graduate students.
