Horticulture
www. linnbenton. edu / go / agricultural-sciences The Horticulture program provides a broad range of instructional services. It provides( 1) occupational training for students who intend to receive a technical degree and work in horticulture;( 2) supplemental technical training for current horticultural employees;( 3) instruction for community members interested in a specific aspect of horticulture; and( 4) instruction for students interested in continuing their education in a four-year college program.
The Horticulture curriculum is based on competencies identified and reviewed by industry representatives and agricultural educators. Students study principles of horticulture, crop science and soil science with an emphasis on sustainable production and ecologically sound resource management.
Students develop the skills necessary for entry-and mid-level technical employments and for entering a four-year college program. Opportunities exist for horticulture students in arboriculture, floriculture, greenhouse operation and management, landscape planning and maintenance, retail landscape and garden center sales, nursery operation and management, and turf management. Most classes in the Horticulture program are offered during the day, and part-time enrollment is common. Many students start in the middle of the academic year. Some courses are only offered every other year.
The Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Horticulture is a lower-division transfer program designed to assist students planning to transfer to Oregon State University. Students completing the degree requirements will be prepared to enroll in upper-division coursework. Students seeking to transfer to an institution other than OSU may be best served by pursuing an AA( OT) while taking specific agriculture, crop and soil science, horticulture, biology, physical science and mathematics courses that will transfer to the student’ s selected college or university. The AA( OT) is a general transfer degree and does not include program requirements. = It is important that you identify the four-year school you plan to attend. You should review the requirements of the program you plan to study at that institution and take those classes at LBCC. You may want to work with two advisors; one at LBCC and a second at the institution you hope to attend to make sure you are taking the courses that will meet program requirements.
Program Requirements
LBCC’ s Associate of Science degree in Horticulture is designed to be completed in two years. This assumes, however, that the entering student is prepared to take MTH 111 College Algebra, WR 121 English Composition, and CH 121 College Chemistry( available only through OSU) or CH 221 General Chemistry. If this is not the case, the student needs to allow extra time to complete this degree. CH 221 General Chemistry, which is usually taken in the first term of the AS in Horticulture, requires that the student possess a basic knowledge of chemistry prior to enrolling in the course. In order to fulfill this requirement a student must either:
• Pass a Chemistry Entrance Exam, or
• Take a college-level chemistry course( CH 112, CH 121, or CH 150).
To schedule an entrance exam or for further information contact: Linda Taylor at taylorl @ linnbenton. edu or 541-917-4741.
Facilities
Instructional facilities, including a greenhouse, laboratories, garden field plots, ornamental gardens, and the campus grounds, are used for skill building and demonstrations.
