The Department of Horticulture prepares students for expanding career opportunities. Graduates find immediate employment with nurseries, garden centers, florist shops, landscape contractors, lawn service companies, interiorscape companies, greenhouses, golf courses, parks and horticulture supply companies. Demand for graduates is strong and most students can choose from several job offers.
Students who continue on for Bachelor’s and more advanced degrees find opportunities in horticulture teaching, research, extension education, career corporations, and government service.
The ultimate goal of students entering Horticulture Management programs should be management and/or business ownership.
The Department is a recognized leader in horticulture education having an excellent faculty and facilities, including five greenhouses, laboratories, arboretum, and demonstration gardens. Courses which develop skills in home gardening and landscape beautification are available to the general student body.
