Botany, also called plant science(s), is the branch of biology that studies plants scientifically. Plants are essential for sustaining life on earth by providing food, oxygen, shelter, fiber, medicine and fuel. Botanist are using novel techniques to explore physiology, ecology, taxonomy and genetics these days. Therefore, there is urgent need to teach botany/plant science(s) in a variety of perspectives. In view of this, Bachelor of Science in Botany (BS Botany) program was proposed at KFUEIT in 2019. Botanists are required in government/semi-government/private sector: forestry, wildlife, agriculture, horticulture, health, education and NGOS (Local, national, international).
Zoology as a subject is multidisciplinary in nature, involving study of organisms and their genetic, morphological and physiological attributes, their surrounding environment, and their role in conservation of environment. Zoology is a combination of various disciplines such as Genetics, Physiology, Ecology, Developmental Biology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Entomology, Evolution, Taxonomy, Freshwater Biology, Fisheries and Wildlife etc. This subject has significant role in human resource development, food security, environmental conservation, and sustainable development and ultimately in alleviation of poverty. The study of Zoology is increasingly recognized as vital for understanding and protecting our planet. Bachelor of Science in Zoology (BS Zoology) was one of the programs offered at KFUEIT for quality education and specialization. The degree main focus is to produce graduates to serve in universities, institutes for ecology, environmental agencies, veterinary healthcare, molecular biology, conservation and forest management, public and private sectors, forensic department, environmental institutions and pathological laboratories.
