The Academic Program

The general agriculture major, with its two areas of emphasis (agricultural management and natural resource management), is designed for students interested in an interdisciplinary education in the agricultural and environmental sciences. Students enrolled in agricultural management take classes in the basic areas of agricultural production and agrienvironmental and agribusiness management. Students in natural resource management study the management of land, water, and biotic natural resources for sustainability and environmental quality. Both emphases provide sufficient electives to permit students the flexibility to tailor the program to their interests. Graduates from the general agriculture major are prepared for an array of occupations in agribusiness, environmental management, and state and federal agencies or for entry to graduate school.

Advising

All general agriculture majors are required to report for advising prior to registration every semester. General agriculture advising and additional information may be obtained from Gilmore 210, (808) 956-6733.

The Academic Program

Horticulture (HORT) is the science, technology, and art of growing and using fruits, nuts, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants and their products. Students majoring in horticulture can prepare for careers in plant production, management, services, marketing, extension, research, and teaching. The horticulture program at UH Manoa is unique in its offerings in tropical horticulture. Students will have an opportunity to learn about tropical crop production, and plant management.
