Career Pathways in Agronomy, Horticulture, Turfgrass Science and Management, and Landscape Design and Management in the Plant and Landscape Systems Major

The Plant and Landscape Systems major aims to educate and develop professionals to design and manage complex plant, landscape, and soil systems. The Plant and Landscape Systems major includes a core to be completed by all students and four options to allow students to specialize in professional areas of interest. The four primary options are agronomy, horticulture, landscape design and management, and turfgrass science and management. Additionally, students will complement their program of study with two additional areas of professional specialization provided through emphases and/or minors.
