Turf Program of Studies

 

Students pursuing a degree in Plant and Soil Science at the University of Kentucky may choose an area of emphasis in Turf Science. In addition to an in-depth study of the basic sciences, students will focus on pest management and irrigation principles. Graduates are competitive for careers in the expanding area of golf course development and maintenance, especially when coupled with a business minor. Additional opportunities exist in grounds and sports field maintenance, product sales, sod production, and commercial lawn care.
