Students receive a broad base of knowledge from which they can further specialize. Skills attained include measurements, dilutions, greenhouse management, micropropagation, use of plant growth regulators, soil conservation, integrated pest management, irrigation, and mineral nutrition. TRANSFER STUDENTS Completing the Associate Degree does not necessarily meet the university-admission requirements for transfer. An Associate Degree is not a requirement for transfer to either the CSU or UC campuses. Private and out-of-state colleges and universities have unique transfer requirements. However, if you would like to transfer to a university and earn an associate degree, early educational planning can make this goal achievable. You should meet with a counselor early in your studies to develop an Educational Plan that fulfills both transfer requirements and associate degree requirements. See page 286 of this catalog for more information on transfer requirements and resources. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Identify and practice the safe use of tools, equipment, and supplies used in horticulture careers, including the maintenance of trees and shrubs from youth to specimen maturity. • Propagate, grow, and maintain plants in horticulture production systems utilizing fundamental principles of soils, botany, and principles of horticulture. • Identify and categorize regional and California plants by common name, growth, morphological characteristics, genus, and species. • Develop solutions for a wide variety of plant health issues, includ\u0002ing common pests and microbial diseases. • Install and care for plants and trees in indoor, outdoor, and green\u0002house operations. • Gain knowledge and apply the fundamentals of field, nursery, greenhouse, and orchard management, including propagation, the use of plant growth regulators, variety development, and biological controls.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:bc0778d1-bfba-45e4-859b-5f37e2d971ed"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2018-08-01","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/25-1041.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"25-1041.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Agricultural Sciences Teachers, Postsecondary"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Teach courses in the agricultural sciences.
