Horticultural Technology Program
This program is designed for the student who does not intend to transfer to another college or university. Students may choose a concentration in Landscape Management or in Turfgrass Management. The Horticultural Technology Program is designed to provide the knowledge and technical skills that are necessary to prepare students for careers within the landscape and turfgrass industry. Landscape Management will prepare students for management level positions with landscape maintenance and installation companies, and for positions as horticultural supervisors. Turfgrass Management will prepare students for management positions in the lawn care industry, golf courses, parks and recreational complexes.
Emphasis in General Agriculture (General Transfer)
This program is designed to provide students an opportunity to complete the first two years of a four-year program in agriculture. Upon completion of this program students may then transfer to one of the senior institutions in Tennessee which offers a baccalaureate degree in agriculture. Students who wish to pursue a baccalaureate degree in veterinary medicine, forestry, wildlife management, and agricultural engineering may do so with proper planning.
