The Department of Horticulture offers a broad, science-based degree with technical
training: Horticulture, Landscape and Turf Sciences (HLTS).
Horticulture, landscape and turf management involves selection, production,
management, marketing, use and research of ornamental crops (shrubs, trees, flowers,
and turf), edible crops (herbs, vegetables and fruits) and turf grasses for the economic,
nutritional, aesthetic and recreational well being of society. The major provides education
and training in basic and applied sciences, arts and humanities, communication,
and business and economics, to provide an understanding of the underlying principles
in plant development and growth, development and use of new technologies, and the
operation of a horticultural enterprise. In consultation with an academic adviser and
mentor, students may individually focus their academic programs through required
and elective courses to focus training in specialized areas such as production, greenhouse
and floriculture sciences, turf management, golf course supervision, nursery
production and management, crop production, pest management, sales and support
services, education and training, and horticultural consulting. An internship in the
industry is required to gain practical, hands-on experience.
Job opportunities for horticulturists include horticulture crop production and
management, horticulture merchandising and business, consulting, inspection,
research, teaching, communications, allied industries serving horticultural producers,
journalism, and developing private business. Students who specialize in landscape
and aspects of ornamental horticulture will be prepared for careers in the landscape
management industry, landscape nurseries, landscape architectural firms, private and
public gardens, and public agencies such as parks and recreation. Job opportunities for
students studying turf management include golf course superintendent, sports field
manager, turfgrass science companies, seed or sod production, commercial landscape
turf management, research, teaching or private consulting. Advanced study may be
required for some careers.
