Part of the preparation involves intimate knowledge of blueprints, gardening, and the ability to design and use plant materials, all fastened to a firm foundation in soil and plant science. By the end, students will be familiar with over 500 ornamental, sustainable, and California native plants and trees. With this fluency, students are well-prepared to analyze site conditions and create an aesthetically pleasing and artistic landscape that considers long-term environmental suitability. 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. • Design irrigation systems meeting varying specifications as out\u0002lined by blueprint drawings and estimate costs. • Design, construct, and install plants for both indoor and outdoor landscape projects. Select 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.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:cb17a1be-1e22-45d1-b0b0-6e582c953d8c"],"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.
