X. Degree Programs
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture [B.Sc.(Agr.)]
Urban Landscape Management (ULM)
The School of Environmental Design and Rural Development
The Major in Urban Landscape Management is designed to address the need for graduates who can manage not only attractive,
but functional and sustainable, urban open spaces. Graduates will have an applied understanding of soil and plant science
as they specifically relate to recreational and aesthetic urban open space. Students will learn to address issues in a multidisciplinary
and creative manner reflecting environmental, social, political, cultural and economic imperatives.
Field Trips
Participation in organized visits to study site areas and projects sites is obligatory for all students taking certain courses
in Urban Landscape Management. To the extent that is possible students will be informed of the dates, destinations and cost
of field trips prior to registration. Students who have reason to seek exemption from the requirement may apply to the professor
for permission to substitute papers on appropriate topics.
