International Direct - Bachelor of Science - Horticulture - Nursery and Greenhouse Science

The Integrated Accelerator Program is a two-semester program designed specifically for high-achieving, bilingual international students who want direct enrolment into their degree program but also want the academic, cultural, professional, and linguistic support they need to thrive at Auburn University. The program features a robust advising and mentorship component, as well as priority access to the most exclusive, in-demand courses. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits.

The Department of Horticulture has been recognized nationally for its research programs, its student-centered faculty members and its high rate of employment for graduates. Students will learn how to establish, propagate, harvest and manage fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. They will also learn the principles of landscape design to create and manage aesthetically pleasing environments.

Students in nursery and greenhouse science will learn how to manage container nurseries, field nurseries and greenhouses for the production of woody and herbaceous perennial ornamentals, annuals and florist crops. Business and science in horticulture will come together as students prepare for many different job opportunities, including greenhouse or nursery manager, retail sales positions, wholesale brokerage and many more.
