Horticulture specializes in the intensive cultivation of fruits, vegetables, ornamental woody plants, and herbaceous nursery crops, along with their landscape management. We provide top-tier academic programs for both undergraduate and graduate students, preparing them with the expertise required for rewarding, well-compensated careers in horticulture.
This program equips students for roles in horticultural education, administration, and sales. It emphasizes small-scale agricultural techniques such as community-based food networks, controlled-environment cultivation (including container gardening, greenhouse & high tunnel systems, hydroponics, and aquaponics), as well as urban forestry and tree maintenance. The curriculum also lays the foundation for advanced research and graduate studies in horticultural science or allied disciplines.
