The park and sports turf management curriculum equips students with the skills needed for careers in this vital and multifaceted field. This specialized degree falls under our broader Agricultural Sciences Program. What sets this program apart is its emphasis on experiential learning, blending hands-on training with theoretical knowledge to develop well-rounded professionals. Prospective transfer students should consult with an academic advisor to verify prerequisite courses in their target institution's catalog, including course availability by term.
Graduates will be prepared for both immediate employment and management roles at parks or sports facilities. The curriculum covers irrigation system design and maintenance, fertilizer application strategies, integrated pest management, comprehensive landscape design (incorporating both plant materials and hardscape elements), and proper care of turf grasses and woody plants. The program also includes essential business training in staff supervision, financial planning, and operational management.
