Graduate study in horticulture emphasizes the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.
The MS requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of graduate work, including at least 21 credit hours in the major field of study and six of which may be research & thesis hours (HORT 7990).
The student’s plan of study is individually tailored by the student, the major professor and the advisory committee to meet the student’s career goals.
Program Learning Outcomes:
- Be able to evaluate, integrate, and apply abstract and pragmatic information to identify and develop solutions for problems within their area of study.
- Based on their inquiry, students will use critical analysis to develop and execute research/project plans, that once complete, will add to the body of knowledge within the discipline.
- Students will effectively communicate research plans and results to broad audiences in written formats including their research paper, thesis or dissertation as well as publications for peer-reviewed journals and possibly extension publication, poster presentations, or grant proposals.
- Students will be expected to clearly communicate their plans and results to broad audiences in oral formats including departmental seminars as well as oral sessions in state, regional, and or national conferences.
- Effectively facilitate at least a portion of an undergraduate course or lab. This requires the student to articulate knowledge of subject through verbal and or written communication skills and to develop classroom management skills.
A thesis based on research by the student is required. Students in the MS program in Horticulture who are on departmental funding cannot change to the Master of Agriculture program.
