The Penn State Center - Pittsburgh - is launching a Sustainable Landscape Technology Certificate program this October geared toward the landscape contracting community and individuals interested in pursuing that career. This 17 credit certificate program will consist of two courses Tuesday and Thursday evenings (with an occasional Saturday field trip) in the following sessions:
October 5-December 16, 2010 - Hort 101 Tuesdays - Hort 131 Thursdays
January 4-March 24, 2011 - Hort 120 Tuesdays - Hort 138 Thursdays
October 4-December 15, 2011 - Hort 238 Tuesdays - Hort 408 Thursdays
This schedule of classes should address seasonal schedules sensitive to landscape contractors.
Please note each course will be framed by the course syllabus from the University Park campus, but it will be altered to fit a 12 week schedule. The program incorporates topics of sustainability, including sustainable techniques and native plants.
Please help us promote this new certificate program. Individuals will be able to complete the certificate program in as little as 15 months and can apply the 17 credits towards an associate degree in the general field of horticulture.
