GRADUATE DEGREES

 

  • Masters of Science

    • The graduate program in horticulture offers two kinds of degrees. The first, and most common, is the Masters of Science degree. This is typically done in thesis format, where effort is split between course work and a scientific research project.
  • Masters of Professional Studies in Horticulture: Water Efficient Landscaping Specialization:

    • (MPSH:WEL) program is a one-year, Plan C (classes only) terminal master's degree program running on a calendar-year basis for students with appropriate undergraduate training in horticulture. The program is designed to provide an advanced-training opportunity in water conservation in urban landscapes that builds program development, public outreach, and coordination skills on a horticultural foundation to mesh with other disciplines in a water agency or a private firm. This degree serves motivated horticultural students seeking graduate-level training for professional positions in terms of time and skills.
