The Department of Horticultural Sciences offers two undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture and a Bachelor of Arts in Horticulture.  Our flexible degree plans enable students opportunities to develop programs tailored to their unique goals.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree blends traditional horticulture with the benefits derived from the human association with plants. This degree offers students the option of pairing a horticulture degree with electives in social sciences, business, education, art and design. Creative opportunities range from planning gala events, to designing tranquil gardens, to constructing educational programs for school gardens to pursuing advanced degrees.  Graduates may find themselves working in exciting environments including botanical gardens, international flower markets or upscale resorts.
