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.
