The Associate in Applied Science in (AAS) Landscape Horticulture prepares students to work as technicians, supervisors, managers, or owners in wholesale or retail nurseries, landscape design and construction operations, or landscape management companies. In addition, the program prepares students for careers with local, state, and federal government agencies involved with the technical phases of the Landscape Horticulture industry.

Landscape Horticulture AAS Degree

The Landscape Horticulture program gives you a chance to earn a 2-year AAS degree that can transfer directly into ASU East Polytechnic as a Junior! The first two years spent at MCC will save you thousands of dollars over the costs associated with taking the same courses at ASU - and you get the added benefit of smaller classes taught by professionals in the industry. Not graduate students.

Certificates of Completion

The Landscape Horticulture Program provides areas of specialization which means you can earn a Certificate of Completion as a Landscape Aide or Landscape Specialist.
