The Bachelor of Science in Landscape Horticulture offers four concentrations;
business, design, horticultural therapy and science. The concentrations provide
students the opportunity to gain theoretical and practical knowledge in areas
such as plant sciences, ornamental plant production and maintenance, landscape
design, landscape management, professional practices, business management, horticultural
therapy and other related areas. The program provides excellent training for the
wide range of opportunities in the horticulture profession and provides a strong
background for students interested in pursuing graduate education in areas ranging
from landscape architecture to the many areas of plant science. The Landscape
Horticulture program also offers an MS degree in Horticulture.
The Landscape Horticulture curriculum offers a challenging academic experience
for the serious student; requiring both synthesis and application of learned concepts.
Extensive use is made of laboratory and studio activities to illustrate hands-on
applications of theoretical principles. Outside the classroom, there are additional
opportunities for the student to gain valuable knowledge and experience.
The strong working relationship with state, national and international horticulture
industry members with ties to the Landscape Horticulture Program, has been an
important factor contributing to nearly a 100% employment record for our graduates.
