The Bachelor of Science (BS) in Horticulture degree program at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture, Temple University offers a broad, four-year, ecologically-based curriculum that includes courses in science, plant identification, production and maintenance—all of which help prepare students to launch a variety of professional careers related to the sustainable green industry and public horticulture.

The curriculum is built around a strong scientific foundation and includes field-based and hands-on research, teaching and learning that deepens students’ knowledge of the natural and cultivated world. The gardens, labs, classrooms and greenhouse at Temple’s expansive, suburban Ambler Campus serve as a home base for coursework, experimentation and applied research. Horticulture students have the opportunity to collaborate with landscape architecture students on projects, including an annual design-build project that culminates in an exhibit for the Philadelphia Flower Show. Some required courses are only available at the Ambler Campus, while other major course requirements are only available at Ambler Campus.
