Horticulture<br />

www.linnbenton.edu/go/agricultural-sciences<br />

The Horticulture program provides a broad range of instructional<br />

services. It provides (1) occupational training for students who intend<br />

to receive a technical degree and work in horticulture; (2) supplemental<br />

technical training for current horticultural employees; (3) instruction<br />

for community members interested in a specific aspect of horticulture;<br />

and (4) instruction for students interested in continuing their education<br />

in a four-year college program.<br />

The Horticulture curriculum is based on competencies identified and<br />

reviewed by industry representatives and agricultural educators. Students<br />

study principles of horticulture, crop science and soil science with an<br />

emphasis on sustainable production and ecologically sound resource<br />

management.<br />

Students develop the skills necessary for entry-and mid-level<br />

technical employments and for entering a four-year college program.<br />

Opportunities exist for horticulture students in arboriculture,<br />

floriculture, greenhouse operation and management, landscape<br />

planning and maintenance, retail landscape and garden center sales,<br />

nursery operation and management, and turf management. Most classes<br />

in the Horticulture program are offered during the day, and part-time<br />

enrollment is common. Many students start in the middle of the<br />

academic year. Some courses are only offered every other year.<br />

The Associate of Science degree with an emphasis in Horticulture is<br />

a lower-division transfer program designed to assist students planning<br />

to transfer to Oregon State University. Students completing the degree<br />

requirements will be prepared to enroll in upper-division coursework.<br />

Students seeking to transfer to an institution other than OSU may be best<br />

served by pursuing an AA(OT) while taking specific agriculture, crop<br />

and soil science, horticulture, biology, physical science and mathematics<br />

courses that will transfer to the student’s selected college or university.<br />

The AA(OT) is a general transfer degree and does not include program<br />

requirements. =It is important that you identify the four-year school<br />

you plan to attend. You should review the requirements of the program<br />

you plan to study at that institution and take those classes at <strong>LBCC</strong>. You<br />

may want to work with two advisors; one at <strong>LBCC</strong> and a second at the<br />

institution you hope to attend to make sure you are taking the courses<br />

that will meet program requirements.<br />

Program Requirements<br />

<strong>LBCC</strong>’s Associate of Science degree in Horticulture is designed to<br />

be <strong>complete</strong>d in two years. This assumes, however, that the entering<br />

student is prepared to take MTH 111 College Algebra, WR 121<br />

English Composition, and CH 121 College Chemistry (available only<br />

through OSU) or CH 221 General Chemistry. If this is not the case,<br />

the student needs to allow extra time to <strong>complete</strong> this degree. CH 221<br />

General Chemistry, which is usually taken in the first term of the AS<br />

in Horticulture, requires that the student possess a basic knowledge<br />

of chemistry prior to enrolling in the course. In order to fulfill this<br />

requirement a student must either:<br />

• Pass a Chemistry Entrance Exam, or<br />

• Take a college-level chemistry course (CH 112, CH 121, or CH 150).<br />

To schedule an entrance exam or for further information contact:<br />

Linda Taylor at taylorl@linnbenton.edu or 541-917-4741.<br />

Facilities<br />

Instructional facilities, including a greenhouse, laboratories, garden<br />

field plots, ornamental gardens, and the campus grounds, are used for<br />

skill building and demonstrations.<br />
