[Taxacom] MSc taxonomy

[piero delprete]

Hi taxacomers, 

It seems that the taxacomers answers gradually drifted to graduate corses in the wide field of systematics. 

The original question was is there are still courses in taxonomy, as for example with a thesis subject in floristics or a monogragh in the classical sense. 

In Brazil many universities offer graduate courses with doctoral thesis subject on floristics or classical monographs. 

Well, these are my two cents, 
Piero
