Horticulture Department
The Richland College Horticulture program will be deactivated effective January 2008. Although new students will not be able to file for a degree or award, as a current horticulture student you will have to the end of the Fall 2012 semester, to complete your degree. Important dates and information you need to remember:
November 20, 2007
Last day for a student who has taken horticulture courses prior to or during the Fall 2007 semester to file a degree plan. Note: Without a degree plan on file with the college, you will not be able to earn your Horticulture Associates degree or Certificate.
January 2008 – May 2009
Full schedule of Horticulture courses will be offered. Following the Spring 2009 semester, Horticulture courses will only be offered on a per demand basis and there is NO guarantee a course will be offered again. Students should focus on taking Horticulture courses during this time period.
It is strongly recommended that you meet with an advisor to develop a customized track to meet your individual needs. Please contact a Technical Advisor:
