MISSION:
The mission of the Horticulture program is
to educate students in horticulture science
and practice through various delivery
systems including regular courses,
cooperative experiences, and seminars. The
Horticulture program prepares students for
successful employment or advancement in the
horticulture industry. Students receive
instruction in soils, fertilizers, plant
propagation, and horticultural science. |
|
Everyone enjoys attractively designed
residential areas, public parks and
playgrounds, college campuses, shopping
centers, golf courses, parkways, and
industrial parks. In planning the site
horticulture specialists first consider the
nature and purpose of the project and the
funds available. They analyze the natural
elements of the site, such as the climate,
soil, slope of the land, drainage, and
vegetation; observe where sunlight falls on
the site at different times of the day and
examine the site from various angles; and
assess the effect of existing buildings,
roads, walkways, and utilities on the
project. The horticulture specialist enjoys
working outdoors and bringing design
projects to fruition. This program consists
of one short certificate and one A.A.S.
degree. |
