WEC Units: Horticultural Science
Horticultural Science, in the College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resource Sciences, employs a faculty comprised of 25-30 members and offers one undergraduate major, Environmental Horticulture, in which 80-90 students are enrolled. A feature that sets Horticultural Science apart from other departments is its strong Extension Service mission, and one of the department’s unique challenges is the confluence of third and fourth-year undergraduate students and newly-enrolled graduate students in its upper-division courses.

Highlights:
Creation Phase(Fall 2007) Horticultural Science faculty reflected upon the dualistic nature of academic and professional writing characteristic of their field. While they immediately affirmed the scientific method as an essential tool for learning and communicating disciplinary findings, they also saw horticulture as an applied science that requires students to translate science to lay audiences.
