COLLEGES Forest Resources and Conservation An undergraduate program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Forest Resources and Conservation is offered by the School of Forest Resources and Conservation. Horticultural Science Students majoring in Horticultural Science have five curriculum specializations: General Horticultural Science, Environmental Horticul- ture, Fruit Crops, Vegetable Crops, or Horticul- tural Operations Management. According to a student's area of interest, an academic adviser will be assigned to assist in developing a pro- gram of course work. Students majoring in Hor- ticultural Science must complete the following core requirements: The requirements for Horti- cultural Operations Management are listed under that specialization. **CORE, DEPARTMENTAL, ADDITIONAL DEPARTMENTAL, REQUIRED AND SPE- CIALIZATION ELECTIVE REQUIREMENTS MUST TOTAL 64 CREDITS Horticultural Science Core Requirements 33 Credits AGR 3303 Genetics ................................................. 3 BCH 3023 Organic and Biological Chemistry.....4 BOT 3503 Plant Physiology ................................4.

CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS Curriculum I General Horticultural Science This curriculum is designed for students who do not declare a specific area of specializa- tion and wish to complete a more generalized program in the broader field of horticulture. Curriculum I-- Required Courses 13-14 Credits PLS 3221 Plant Propagation ..................................2 PLS 3221L Plant Propagation Laboratory ...........1 One course from Environmental Horticulture, Fruit Crops, and Vegetable Crops Specialization (see adviser)......................10-11 Approved Electives The balance of the 64 credits to be selected with adviser guidance. Curriculum II Environmental Horticulture Improvement of the human environment through proper selection, propagation, produc- tion, and placement of plants in the exterior and interior landscapes is the science and art learned by students who specialize in this field. The industry which constitutes production and uti- lization of environmental plants is the fastest growing segment of agriculture and has enor- mous potential for continued expansion. In addition to the 33 credits of horticultural science core requirements, students must com- plete the following course sequence.
