COMING FALL 2008!
A New 2 Year
Program
Associate in Applied Science Degree
The
Landscape and Turfgrass Technology program prepares students for entry into the
golf course and landscaping industry. The golf course, turf grass and
landscape industries have a high
demand for qualified individuals in the areas of lawn care, irrigation and
chemical applications, and landscape construction and maintenance.
The specialist training and
course work will be divided into three main areas: 1) classroom activities
that will enhance your knowledge toward current practices, 2) lab
experiments and active learning on the college owned irrigated 330-yard
fairway with PGA specification green, a native green, and a 300-yard driving
range, and 3) a supervised work experience during the spring semester where
you will learn industry requirements and real world techniques.
This program will offer you updated technologies used in the
industry, it will introduce you to the standards and benchmarks set by the
Iowa Golf and Turf Grass Specialists, and it will prepare you for placement
in Golf Course Management, Irrigation, Chemical
Application, Turf Equipment, Landscape Installation and Maintenance and
Landscape Design.
