Undergraduate Minors:
A minor in Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) is useful for students in Agriculture and Biological Sciences who plan to seek employment in areas of horticulture and floriculture production, marketing, management, etc., where decision making requires an understanding of plant crop production in controlled environments. Students taking this minor will gain insights into the environmental and cultural factors that influence crop productivity. Such insights will enable the student to anticipate crop response under CEA production regimes.
Minor courses sheets:
An Agronomy minor is useful for students in Agriculture and Biological Sciences who plan to seek employment in areas of agronomic crop production, marketing, management, etc., where decision making requires a basic understanding of plant growth and crop production. Students taking this minor will gain insights into the environmental, genetic, and cultural factors that influence crop productivity. Such insights will enable the student to anticipate crop response under specific production regimes and environmental influences.
Minor courses sheets:
- Enrolled Autumn 2019 (& thereafter)
- Enrolled Autumn 2017
A Horticulture minor is useful for students with an interest in gardening or who plan to seek employment in areas of fruit, vegetable, and ornamental crop production, marketing, management, etc., where decision making requires a basic understanding of plant growth and development as well as fundamental techniques for growing plants. Students taking this minor will gain insights into the environmental, genetic, and cultural factors that influence plant productivity. Such insights will enable the student to anticipate plant response under specific production regimes or environmental conditions.
Minor courses sheets:
- Enrolled Autumn 2019 (& thereafter)
- Enrolled Autumn 2017
A Turfgrass Management minor is useful for students who expect to have positions that require: overseeing the management of grounds (for example public or private lawns, sports, or recreational areas, or golf courses (greens and fairways).
