The Sustainable Plant Systems (SPS) program is jointly managed by the

SWES Department and the School of Plant Sciences in CALS.

This degree program provides a good base for students interested in

work associated with field crops, permanent tree crop production, turf

science, and/or a broad array of horticultural crops that are grown

throughout the western United States and other regions in the world.

Due to the flexible nature of this program, students can elect to focus

on either Agronomy, Environmental Horticulture, Turf Science,

Controlled Environment Agriculture, or Food Safety.
