Undergraduate School
Horticulture plays an important role not only in rural economic condition, but also in fresh food chain for providing natural nutrient sources to human. Horticulture Track conducts six programs such as horticultural crop breeding, greenhouse horticulture, pomology, ornamental/urban horticulture, plant propagation and environmental plant physiology. The goal provides an opportunity to be a horticultural specialist in horticultural industries and research institutes. To meet the goal educational courses are focused on plant (post-harvest) physiology, genetics, environmental physics, in vitro culture, cultural systems and ornamental craft. Students get a broad range of experiences with combination of theories and practices in the field, greenhouse, and/or laboratory using molecular genetics and breeding, in vitro culture, soilless culture, greenhouse climate control system and ornamental craft to solve practical/research questions.
