Earn a Plant Breeding & Genetics Professional Badge
It’s no secret that plants have a lot of different genetic traits, both good and bad. The plant breeder has a crucial task — to ensure that the most desirable traits between two parent plants are in the genetic makeup of new plants. Through this process, plants will be improved and contribute to providing a reliable source of food for our world’s large and rapidly growing population.

This means that learners do not enroll through the university’s official admission process and, thus, will not receive official transcripts upon completing the badge. Unlike academic courses, modules in the badge program are based on learners showing mastery of and competency in the material.
Modules in the Plant Breeding and Genetics Professional Badge program cannot be transferred toward an academic credit program at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln or any other institution.
Self-pace modules are open now. REGISTER by Sept. 13.
