Careers
Cultivate. Innovate. Manicure. Arrange. Beautify the world while building a career in horticultural science.
A recently published report from the USDA indicates that graduates with degrees and certifications in agriculture-related fields (including horticulture) will be in high demand, with an estimated 57,900 high-skilled job openings annually between 2015 and 2020 (Gallager, Greenhouse Grower, 2015). Employers are looking for graduates with expertise in food, agriculture, renewable resources and the environment. The demand for employees may well be greater than the supply of horticulture graduates.
