This program provides the student with a comprehensive mixture
of academic and practical training in the field of ornamental horticulture.
The flexible curriculum can accommodate career interests in either
landscape contracting or design. Students will learn to design and
draft landscape plans; install, construct, and maintain landscapes;
and identify, select, and plant woody and herbaceous plants.
Career opportunities include positions as landscape supervisors,
nursery managers, landscape contractors, and landscape designers.
This program will also serve to expand the knowledge and skills of
persons already working in the profession and give the student enough
knowledge and experience to establish a private landscape, grounds
maintenance, nursery, or greenhouse business.
Courses include those general subjects required for graduation
(General Education foundation and distribution requirements); those
necessary for acquiring landscaping fundamentals (core requirements);
and those that reinforce the student's area of interest (landscape
contracting or landscape design). This program is approved by the
Landscape Contractors Association.
