Horticulture

A degree designed with the non-traditional student in mind

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.


Student Success Stories

Successful horticulture students have a love of the outdoors and a deep commitment to all things that grow. Typically, they enjoy working with their hands and have the patience to wait for results that often take a year or more to unfold. Many are entrepreneurial and study business as well as horticulture. 

I loved that my classes allowed me to be outside connecting with nature! It's so fun to be surrounded by fellow-plant-geeks building a community around what we love the most - plants!
