Prospective Students
Horticultural Technology students study the art and science of applied plant biology, preparing for environmentally attuned careers in the Green Industry. Rigorous first-year foundation courses in plant materials, plant growth and development, and soils support second-year specializations in ornamental horticulture, or landscape operations. Employment opportunities in these areas continue to be excellent. Graduates enter a rapidly expanding job market in greenhouse production, floral design, nursery and garden center management, parks and grounds management, fruit and vegetable production, and landscape design, construction, and maintenance. Many recent graudates have established their own horticulture enterprises, and others continue their education toward a four-year degree in areas such as floral design, environmental horticulture, floriculture/greenhouse management, or business management.
Admissions Requirements for Horticultural Technology Students: Applicants to the HT program must present at least two years each of satisfactory work in college preparatory mathematics and sciences (one of these being Biology, with a lab).
The Hort Club is an informal group made up of anyone who wants to participate in horticultural activities, events, and tours outside the classroom. Some activities are more professionally oriented some more social. Check out our bulletin boards for information regarding scheduled meeting times.
