园艺专业人员的职业是从种植和照料植物而来-从在高尔夫球场管理景观，监督植物园，苗圃和温室，到种花，造景灌木和树木，水果或蔬菜。但是园艺家需要的不仅仅是绿色的拇指。在该计划中，您将学习该专业的科学知识，并探索诸如修剪和嫁接，土壤科学，农作物生产，授粉，景观和草皮管理以及病虫害防治等主题。您还将通过实际的农作物生产项目，以及在苗圃，高尔夫球场和私人园林设施的实地考察中，在植物科学农场和计算机控制的温室中获得动手经验。
Horticulture professionals make careers out of growing and caring for plants from managing landscapes at a golf course, to overseeing botanical gardens, nurseries and greenhouses, to raising crops of flowers, landscape shrubs and trees, fruits or vegetables.<br><br>But horticulturists need more than a green thumb. In this program, you will study the science behind the profession and explore topics like pruning and grafting, soil science, crop production, pollination, landscape and turf management, and pest control. You will also gain hands-on experience at the plant science farms and computer-controlled greenhouses, through real-world crop production projects, and on field trips to nurseries, golf courses and private landscape installations.
