Landscape Management Concentration
The General Science Associate of Science (AS in General Science) The Landscape Management Concentration allows BRCC students to transfer to a senior institution and complete a related degree program in plant and soil systems. For students who do not wish to obtain a four-year degree, the Landscape Management Concentration prepares students for entry-level employment in the “green industry” upon completion of a two-year degree. The green industry has a growing demand for employees knowledgeable in plant and soil systems and trained in landscape installation, care, and maintenance. Students must obtain a “C” or better in all concentration courses. NOTE: Courses cannot be scheduled in more than one degree category. For example, HORT courses taken under Approved Landscape Management Electives
cannot also be used under Electives. To receive this degree, the student must: - have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better in all credits that are to be used towards the degree;
- earn a “C” or better in the area of concentration courses, in ENGL 101 and ENGL 102, and in courses that are prerequisites for other courses;
- take at least 12 hours at the 200 level; and
- complete the coursework listed
