About the course

Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) is a technology-based approach to crop production that focuses on optimizing an environment within a protected structure to facilitate desired plant growth and development. In this concentration, students will study and gain hands-on experience with the management of controlled environment systems for the production and improvement of both floriculture and food crops. Students will also engage with advanced production technologies in areas such as hydroponics and lighting. Additional course topics include propagation, environmental control, physiology, and pest management for horticultural crops grown in controlled environments. Students are required to participate in greenhouse practicums and an internship in their junior and/or senior years. A number of career opportunities exist for students in this concentration including controlled environment production, all phases of retail and wholesale floral business, controlled environment supply sales, controlled environment construction and environmental control, and plant research.
