Horticulture Minor
Add plants to your degree
Interested in plants, food production, sustainability, gardens, floral design, greenhouse production, or the green industry? The Horticulture minor allows UGA students from any major to build practical plant knowledge while completing hands-on courses in the Department of Horticulture.
The minor can complement majors in business, environmental science, biology, agricultural communication, landscape architecture, ecology, education, hospitality, and many other fields where knowledge of plants and the environment can expand career options.
Minor requirements
The Horticulture minor requires 15-16 credit hours under the current Bulletin. Students complete HORT 2000, HORT 3000, one approved Horticulture management course, and additional HORT coursework as specified in the current Bulletin.
Because requirements can change, students should use the UGA Bulletin as the official source when planning the minor.
Make the minor your own
Students can use approved coursework to explore interests such as floral design and floriculture, greenhouse and nursery production, fruits and vegetables, organic and sustainable agriculture, herbs and medicinal plants, landscape management, plant propagation, public horticulture, and controlled-environment agriculture.
Why minor in Horticulture?
A Horticulture minor can help students gain practical experience working with plants, add applied science skills to another major, explore green-industry careers, and connect with Horticulture faculty, facilities, internships, clubs, and experiential-learning opportunities.
