Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Horticulture] From Texas A&M University

The Department of Horticultural Sciences offers two undergraduate degrees: a Bachelor of Science in Horticulture and a Bachelor of Arts in Horticulture.  Our flexible degree plans enable students opportunities to develop programs tailored to their unique goals.

The Bachelor of Science (BS) degree is designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for production, management and marketing of horticultural and floriculture crops. This degree also offers students with strong interests in science and/or technology opportunities in research related fields including graduate studies. Career prospects range from producing specialty herb crops for upscale restaurants, to managing landscape businesses for growing communities, to marketing fruits and vegetables for healthier lifestyles. Many former students are self-employed, owning their own greenhouse, nursery or landscape operation. Others work in upper management of large corporations or travel the world developing future horticultural crops.
