Horticulture

A Degree Designed with the Non-Traditional Student in Mind

The study of Horticulture covers the growth, distribution and utilization of ornamental plants, fruits and vegetables.

In courses offered by UC's College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP), students learn the relationship between horticulture and ecological processes and develop a forward-looking approach toward the environment.

UC's Bachelor of Science in Horticulture program is designed with the non-traditional student in mind. Classes are held evenings and weekends on UC's main campus as well as several off-campus locations.
