About the Program
The Plant Science and Landscape Technology program prepares students for careers in the "original green industry." The green industry is, and has been, one of the fastest growing industries in the country. Tri-C’s program will provide you with a solid background to achieve your goals, whether they are to own your own landscaping business, become a key staff member of an existing company, or to work in a botanical garden or greenhouse.

The program offers an associate of applied science with two options:

Option A: prepares students for careers in landscape design/build.
Option B: prepares students for careers in retail garden center and nursery management.

The Plant Science and Landscape Technology program offers both day and evening classes, which includes:

Summer field experience (paid internship) between the first and second years
A balance of classroom, laboratory and practical educational experiences.

A full-time class schedule is not required and many students in this program take classes part-time and work part- or full-time.
