Overview

A wide array of jobs are available in private and commercial business, horticulture sales, design, finance, government agencies and career and technical instruction.

Hands-on-training is reinforced through on-campus practicums in the university gardens, greenhouses, and nursery. Additional experience can be gained through off-campus internships. Our small class size promotes interaction between students and faculty. We are small enough to care for you as an individual but large enough to provide every career opportunity.
