The two-year Associate in Science degree in Landscape Technology is designed to prepare students for positions as assistant landscape managers at golf courses and resorts, as well as management trainees with large landscape companies. Other career opportunities also exist with lawn care companies, nurseries, and garden centers.
Field training is an important component of the Golf and Landscape programs. Once accepted into the Landscape program, students must attend a 12-week summer semester of field training. This training is at selected landscape operations located within 500 miles of the College campus. Students earn course credit for the field training and wages are paid by the employers for whom they work.
The Landscape program is a physically and mentally challenging program. All students should be aware of the vigorous nature of this program. Prior landscape experience is desirable and is taken into consideration when selecting students.
To be considered for this program, a student must:
- have a high school diploma or GED certificate,
- take a placement exam as prescribed by State Board of Education Rule if they have not previously completed freshman English, reading or college level math.
All students are required to construct their class schedules with the assistance of the program advisor, who must approve all course alternatives.
