What is Landscape Contracting?
Landscape Contracting is a profession that involves the art and technology of landscape planning, construction and maintenance for human enjoyment and use. Successful landscape contractors have creative problem solving skills, refined interpersonal skills and an understanding of and respect for natural systems. They apply cultural and scientific knowledge in the planning and construction of both indoor and outdoor spaces.
Curriculum Changes in LSCPE Major
The main differences are:
Credit requirement is changed from 130 to 123
LARCH 241 has been dropped as a graduation requirement
Biology requirement is changed to Biology 110 OR Biology 127 (Botany)
Hort 410W is no longer a 'C or better required' course
So, what does all this mean to YOU.
• Students with semester standing 1 - 4 will automatically be in the new revised curriculum because that will be the curriculum 'in place' when you officially enter the LSCPE Major.
