Horticulture and Golf Course Management

Diploma

The general horticulture diploma is intended to train students to work in portions of the horticulture industry that do not require a full degree. This diploma can be used as a "stepping stone" for students who need to take a non-traditional approach to their career goals. The general horticulture courses help students develop a basic understanding of the science surrounding plants and their environment.

You can earn a Horticulture and Golf Course management diploma.
Note that not all courses for each program can be offered every semester.

You will need to successfully complete a minimum of 31-32 Credit Hours.
