While no courses in the Department are devoted solely to horticulture, they enter the teaching program in a variety of ways. Many examples involving horticulture are used in various courses in the teaching program. The economic and business principles developed in agricultural economics courses can be combined with course work available in other departments to provide an in-depth understanding of horticulture businesses.
