Horticultural Science Minor

The Horticultural Science minor provides students with a strong foundation in plant biology and the growth and management of horticultural plants. Students can ­pursue a horticultural specialization such as greenhouse production, landscape ornamentals, fruit and vegetation production, or floral design. This minor is an excellent complement to majors in agriculture, biology, landscape architecture, or related fields, offering practical skills applicable to careers in horticulture, greenhouse management, landscape design, urban agriculture, and sustainable food systems. By integrating scientific principles with hands-on learning, ­the minor prepares students for opportunities in plant production, agricultural technology, and research industries.
