Horticulture and Plant Sciences looks at how fruit, vegetable, greenhouse and landscape plants are produced, processed and marketed. Coursework follows plants through their growth, care, harvest, quality checks and eventual sale.
Much of the learning happens in a campus greenhouse, where students pick up propagation and production skills. Because horticulture increasingly serves cities, the program leans toward landscape management and growing nursery and greenhouse stock.
Ohio residents who gain acceptance to the university as well as the major can pay in-state rates, while all other non-West Virginians, including international students, are billed at non-resident rates.
Entry follows the university's standard first-year or transfer routes. The program page also points to a plan of study, honors options, scholarship search tools and a tuition page for budgeting.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: First-time freshmen must meet WVU first-time freshman admission requirements; transfer applicants follow the separate transfer admission requirements. Non-resident rates apply to anyone who is not a West Virginia resident, including international students.
