Program Requirements
Horticulture connects plants and people to improve our world, be it through the enhancement of the foods we eat, the creation of healthy natural living spaces, the economic and aesthetic enhancement of our homes and communities, or the application of green solutions to the challenges of environmental quality. The plants of horticulture are the foundation of human and environmental well being, and it is horticulture professionals who have the knowledge, skills, and passion to utilize those plants for the betterment of humankind.
The Horticulture degree program includes courses in science, mathematics, business, leadership, law, and communication, combined with a strong foundation in horticultural sciences and arts. The curriculum provides the flexibility to choose courses within those categories that best support the student’s personal interests, goals, and success. Career opportunities are endless.
Students work closely with faculty in creative inquiry groups to investigate and implement solutions to real problems. Internships are excellent opportunities to learn and explore potential careers.
Combined Bachelor of Science/Master of Science Degree Program
Horticulture students may begin a Master of Science degree in Plant and Environmental Sciences or a Master of Science degree in Entomology while completing their Bachelor of Science degree, and use up to 12 credits to satisfy the requirements of both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. To be eligible for this plan, students must have a 3.4 or higher grade-point average and have completed at least 90 credits of coursework.
