What will I study?

The Horticulture program gives students a broad overview of the horticulture field. Practical experience is gained in growing and nurturing greenhouse crops, focusing on a wide variety of ornamental plants. Courses each semester provide instruction in basic areas including woody plants, herbaceous ornamentals and botany. Beyond these fundamentals are courses in pest control, designing landscapes and basic business courses. An integral portion of the program is the internship, which is usually completed during the summer between the student’s first and second year.

The aim of the curriculum is to prepare students for entry-level positions in horticulture, and to have the tools and experience to quickly advance in the industry. This program also gives students the flexibility to transfer, upon graduation, to a four-year-college program in horticulture.
