Environmental Horticulture Minor

Students will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to manage fruit, vegetable, nursery and or greenhouse production systems.  Hands-on experiential learning in laboratories and greenhouses both on the main campus and at the Millbourne estate (Appel family estate) will be key elements of the major.  Students will acquire knowledge and experience in the key areas of ecology, economic botany and taxonomy, soil science and plant nutrition, plant propagation, pest management, landscaping, economics and business.  It is imperative that students graduate with a strong scientific base linked to marketing and business-management skills which they can apply to niche markets.

The Biology minor provides students with the opportunity to explore the multidisciplinary study of biological systems from molecular to ecological principles.  Through required and selected courses, this minor provides a foundation for students planning for careers and advanced work within biological fields.

The minor in Chemistry provides a foundation in general chemical principles, organic chemistry, and analytical chemistry. The Chemistry Minor complements many majors, enhancing career opportunities in education, business, and industry.
