Horticulture
is a broad and diverse field involved with producing and utilizing a multitude
of specialized plants. Benefits of this industry to all people are both
physical and emotional. Horticulturists provide the fruits and vegetables
so important to good nutrition. Horticulturists also improve the human
environment, through both beautification and conservation, by providing
the ornamental plants and designs utilized to enhance aesthetics within
and around the home, workplace, and other areas. Thus, while the field
is based on a biological and agricultural science foundation, there is
ample opportunity for individuals also oriented toward business, social
science, art, education, and international development.
The horticulture
curriculum is fully individualized in consultation with a course advisor
following the freshman year of core courses, students begin their personal
programs of study in one of five options: horticulture crops, horticulture
therapy, horticulture education, landscape contracting, and horticulture
science.
