BS Horticulture

In order to solve global issues like public health, environmental sustainability, and food security, horticulture - the science of growing plants for human use - is essential. This program seeks to deepen students' understanding of the interrelationships between humans, plants, and the environment while providing them with the tools to tackle today's most pressing issues. The program promotes resource-efficient practices, increases yields, and diversifies crop production to provide solutions. Horticulture also offers opportunities for fulfilling careers, particularly for women, and makes a significant contribution to rural development and economic growth.

Kinnaird College wants to give students the tools they need to pursue careers in research, agribusiness, landscaping, floriculture, and agriculture. Through a comprehensive education that includes soil science, plant biology, crop production, and pest management, the program equips students to address difficult problems like environmental conservation and food security. All things considered, the BS in Horticulture is in line with the college's dedication to social responsibility, innovation, and academic brilliance.
