Horticulture
Sample Schedule
The schedule below shows how the requirements for the A.A.S. Ornamental Horticulture– Landscape Development degree may be met in four semesters. This schedule is an example of one of many possible schedules. It is included here only as an illustration of the type of schedule that might be followed by a full-time student. Many students attending Finger Lakes Community College who have work and/or family obligations choose a different sequence of courses and take more than four semesters to fulfill the requirements for the A.A.S. Ornamental Horticulture–Landscape Development degree. Similarly, students who find they need to take some additional course work to better prepare them for courses included in the A.A.S. Ornamental Horticulture–Landscape Development degree program may plan a schedule that takes more than four semesters to complete the degree. All students should consult their advisor when they plan their schedule.
