Wow, two horticulture-related posts in one day! I just received the news that the horticulture major (or "hort" for those in the know) has been revised. You can view the new curriculum here. And below is the text I received describing the major:
The major in Horticulture is designed for students who want a basic knowledge of horticulture. Emphasis is placed on the basic plant sciences to give a general background for the specialized topics in horticulture. Opportunities open to graduates of this major include managing the production of horticultural crops in greenhouses, nurseries, and farms; managing residential landscape design and construction firms; park and golf course management; supervising landscape maintenance and arboriculture firms; flower shop management and floral design; plant breeders; positions as sales representatives and horticulturists with seed and plant suppliers, and horticultural supply firms; employment with state or federal government agencies or institutions as teachers, researchers, horticultural advisors, crop inspectors, and consultants; and horticultural mass media specialists.
