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 />
