Departmental Seminars
Formal, oral presentations are an essential component of the training program for our graduate students. Each graduate student must be enrolled in Graduate Seminar (Hort 610 – 1 credit) for one semester for an M.S. student and two semesters for a Ph.D. student. Ideally, these seminars represent a report of the research project of the student. It is strongly recommended that one seminar be a final exit seminar on the thesis project.
The department also hosts outside speakers as part of our lecture-series.
The Department of Horticulture seminar series (fall and spring semesters) provides a supportive environment for graduate students to practice and refine their scientific presentation skills.
