Sports Turf Management
The green industry has grown tremendously over the past decade, and with this growth comes an increased demand for college educated graduates who have a four-year degree, specializing in turf management. The Horticulture - Turf Industry educational option leads to a B.S. degree in Plant Science at Rutgers University. This degree will help prepare students for employment as a golf course superintendent, sports field manager, lawn and landscape professional, sod producer, or for employment in allied fields within the green industry. The research option in plant science prepares students to continue their education towards an advanced degree in turf, such as a Master of Science or Ph.D.
