This program offers a flexible curriculum for students interested in a
multifaceted view of plant agriculture that also embraces issues of
environmental stewardship, food safety, international development, and
other topics of broad public concern. A degree in environmental
horticulture will prepare students for careers managing greenhouses,
nurseries, farms, and golf courses; in teaching; in consulting and
applied research; in practicing journalism; in working for park and
highway planning commissions; in working in sales or brokerage aspects
of wholesale and retail marketing; and in finding employment in food-
and feed-processing firms.
