About the Program
This major is for students interested in a career as a professional turf manager. A turf manager oversees and implements cultural management programs for the maintenance, production, conditioning and performance of a wide variety of turf areas like lawns, athletic fields, golf courses, parks, and sod farms. Managing a visually pleasing and manicured turf that is subject to intense use requires a foundation of technical expertise, the ability to make precise management decisions and a wealth of practical experience. The Turf Science and Management curriculum is based in scientific principles, while also providing the technical information, business/management, written/oral communication, and problem solving coursework and skills to promote managerial success. This Bachelor of Science degree broadly prepares students to handle a wide array of potential career paths in the Turf Industry.
