Master of Agriculture in Horticultural Sciences

The Department of Horticultural Sciences exists to improve the quality of life through teaching, research, and extension programs related to the aesthetic disciplines of horticulture and the production of high quality, healthful fruits and vegetables. The Master of Agriculture is a non-thesis professional degree requiring internship experience. It provides management training and emphasizes problem-solving skills rather than research. At least 36 hours of course work are required.
The graduate programs of the Department of Horticultural Sciences are designed to prepare individuals for careers in research, teaching, extension and industry. Research-oriented programs in the areas of fruit/nut/vegetable breeding, production and processing, ornamental horticulture/nursery crops, post-harvest physiology, greenhouse/floriculture production, marketing and economics, plant-microbe interactions, viticulture/enology, genetics/genomics, and plant physiology are available to students. Supporting work may be required in several related fields such as chemistry, biology, plant pathology, plant physiology, entomology, soils, genetics, nutrition and agricultural engineering. The specific objective of the individual student will guide his or her committee in the choice of courses from the departments mentioned above and others in special cases.
