Graduate programs leading to M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Horticulture are open to eligible students holding bachelor's degrees from accredited institutions in horticulture or related plant science fields such as botany, crop science, environmental sciences, or landscape design disciplines. Candidates with non-plant science degrees but significant professional experience in relevant fields may also be considered. Prospective horticulture graduate students should possess foundational knowledge in core sciences (biology, chemistry, biochemistry, statistics, physics) along with undergraduate coursework in plant-related subjects (e.g., agronomy, botany, ecology, horticulture, genetics, plant physiology, plant pathology, plant anatomy). Those needing additional preparation may be admitted provisionally, requiring completion of specified undergraduate courses prior to degree conferral.
The Master of Science in Horticulture curriculum involves conducting original research on horticultural subjects, producing statistically valid results documented in a detailed scientific thesis.
Master of Science Plan A (thesis option, 30 credits) involves laboratory or field research with data collection and analysis.
Master of Science Plan B (non-thesis option, 33 credits) requires a literature-based research paper.

Qualification Requirements
Bachelor's degree must be completed by the start of your graduate program.
U.S. degrees must be from a regionally accredited institution to qualify for CSU graduate admission (certificate or degree program).
Contact your department to find out if unofficial transcripts are accepted. If your department accepts unofficial transcripts, you may be admitted and registered in your first semester of courses with an unofficial transcript. Official transcripts must be submitted, prior to or during your first semester, before you can register for your second semester of graduate work. Failure to meet this condition will result in your dismissal from the Graduate School.
You will need unofficial transcripts of all collegiate work completed post-high school. Separate transcripts are required for study abroad if the courses, grades, and credits are not recorded on the transcript of the university that sponsored the study abroad.
Training course transcripts from branches of the U.S. Military that show credit received with neither grades nor degrees awarded are exempt from the transcript requirements. You must upload the front and back of transcripts and include any grading scale provided.
In general, the minimum cumulative GPA for non-provisional admittance is a 3.0 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) to be admitted by the Graduate School.
