Horticulture, Landscape and Turf Sciences (HLTS)


According to University of Arkansas's Department of Horticulture, "Horticulture, landscape, and turf management involves selection, production, management, marketing, use, and research of ornamental crops (shrubs, trees, flowers, and turf), edible crops (herbs, vegetables, and fruits) and turf grasses for the economic, nutritional, aesthetic and recreational well-being of society. The major provides education and training in basic and applied sciences, arts and humanities, communication, and business and economics to provide an understanding of the underlying principles in plant growth and development and use of new technologies, and the operation of a horticultural enterprise. In consultation with an academic adviser and mentor, students may individually focus their academic programs through required and elective courses to focus training in specialized areas such as production, greenhouse and floriculture sciences, turfgrass management, golf course management, nursery production and management, edible crop production, pest management, sales and support services, education and training, and horticultural consulting."
