The Major Program<br />

Students majoring in Environmental Horticulture and<br />

Urban Forestry learn how plants improve the environment<br />

and the quality of our lives. The major<br />

focuses on the biological and physical concepts and<br />

horticultural principles of plant production, management<br />

of plants and plant ecosystems in landscape<br />

settings and sociological aspects of plant/people<br />

interactions in the urban environment. Plants are<br />

used to revegetate and restore disturbed landscapes,<br />

control erosion and reduce energy and water consumption.<br />

The ornamental use of plants to improve<br />

the aesthetic quality of urban and rural landscapes,<br />

recreational areas, interiorscapes and commercial<br />

sites is an important aspect of this major. Students<br />

may select one of the following four areas of specialization:<br />

Urban Forestry, Floriculture/Nursery, Landscape<br />

Management/Turf, or Plant Biodiversity/<br />

Restoration.<br />

Internships and Career Opportunities. Students<br />

are encouraged to develop internships on or<br />

off campus to augment their activities in the classroom<br />

and laboratory. Internships are available with<br />

the department’s greenhouse facility, the <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong><br />

Arboretum, landscape designers, government agencies<br />

or regional nurseries. Career opportunities in<br />

this field include growing and/or managing plants<br />

in a variety of settings, consulting as an urban, landscape,<br />

or restoration horticulturist; business ownership;<br />

working for public agencies or private<br />

landscape firms/corporations; park management<br />

and landscape contracting.<br />

Environmental Policy<br />

Analysis and Planning<br />

(College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences)<br />

The Major Program<br />

The major in environmental policy analysis and planning<br />

develops an understanding of governmental<br />

policy-making and skills for analyzing policy in fields<br />

related to environmental quality.<br />

Any student in good standing is eligible to transfer to<br />

the major; to do so, please see the major adviser,<br />

Paul Sabatier (2144 Wickson Hall) or staff adviser<br />

(2134 Wickson Hall).<br />

The Program. This major provides students with a<br />

general background in the natural sciences relevant<br />

to environmental policy. It also provides sufficient<br />

training in mathematics, statistics, and research<br />

methodology to quantitatively analyze environmental<br />

problems and policy options. A strong background<br />

in policy analysis, including the evaluation of<br />

policy alternatives and the study of factors affecting<br />

policy formulation and implementation is included.<br />

In addition, students are encouraged to develop substantive<br />

knowledge in a specific field of environmen-<br />

Quarter Offered: I=Fall, II=Winter, III=Spring, IV=Summer; 2007-<strong>2008</strong> offering in parentheses<br />
