Environmental
Horticulture Technology offers education in these specialized areas for men and
women. As highly skilled technicians and supervisory personnel, graduates
obtain employment in one of these highly specialized ornamental and
environmental industries. This program provides the individual with a detailed
understanding of the technical requirements of the industry and helps the
student develop skills needed as a commercial environmental horticulturalist.
Also, the program allows a student the opportunity to further develop critical
thinking and problem-solving skills needed in the work place. A student
educated in this program will find employment with golf courses, commercial
properties, contract maintenance, garden centers, athletic and recreational
areas, production and retail nurseries, schools, colleges, lawn maintenance and
landscape companies, and related horticultural and agronomic service and/or
production careers.
To be eligible to receive the Associate of Applied Science
degree in Environmental Horticulture, each student must complete the required
courses of one specific management area. A grade of C or better is required in
ENGL 1101, MATH 1002 and all classes with AENT, AGRP, AGRY and HORT prefixes.
Many students earn at least two of the above degrees to
better prepare them for the work force and improve their employability. The
program is a mix of traditional and nontraditional students. Many
non-traditional students enter the program with a previous degree and complete
the technical classes within a year. A student lacking sufficient job
experience is encouraged to participate in a minimum of two internship
(on-the-job training) programs. Also, a student is encouraged to become a
student member of the state and/or national professional trade organizations
(i.e., Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Georgia Golf Course
Superintendents Association, Professional Lawn Care Association of America,
Club Managers Association of America, American Association of Nurserymen,
Southern Nurserymen Association, Georgia Green Industry Association, etc.) as
applicable to the chosen major. Scholarships are available to specific majors
from industry and professional organizations.

The Division of
Business Administration
The Information Technology degree program is designed to
offer the student a concentrated program in utilizing microcomputers to perform
business applications. In addition to the knowledge gained in the area of
Microsoft application, students may choose an emphasis from one of three areas:
computer programming, network support, or business software applications.
Students choosing the software applications option will not
only earn an associate degree in Information Technology but will also have the
opportunity to earn Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) certification. MOUS
certification is becoming widely recognized by business and industry as a
benchmark to validate user skills. Students who select the programming option will
have the competitive edge for those jobs requiring knowledge of JAVA, C++ and
Visual Basic, while students choosing to emphasize networking will develop a
strong foundation in network support.
Students majoring in this option must earn a “C” average
(2.0) or better in all CISM courses. A student completing this course work will
receive the Associate of Applied Science in Business Information Technology
with an emphasis in either computer programming, network support, or software
applications.
Students desiring to earn a Bachelor’s degree at a
four-year institution can transfer this program of study to Valdosta State
University and receive 36 semester hours of block credit toward the Bachelor of
Applied Science, Technical Studies major, in addition to the University System
core requirements met at ABAC.
