About this program
About
The Horticultural Science program provides a broad foundation in landscape plant materials, greenhouse production, and turfgrass management. Students complete 50 percent of the coursework required for a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture and Crop Science while gaining hands-on experience in horticultural systems. Opportunities such as study abroad enhance learning through exposure to global horticultural and turf practices.
