The minor is designed to provide students with an understanding of the materials and processes used to design, construct and maintain landscapes.
The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University with the exception of majors in Horticulture. The minor is administered by The Department of Horticulture.
With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
