Horticulture and Landscape Architecture

Oklahoma State University (OSU) was founded on December 25, 1890, as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College. Originally the single Department of Agriculture and Horticulture contained all offerings in agriculture except chemistry. In 1893, that entity was divided into the Department of Horticulture and the Department of Agriculture. Through the years and several changes the department was broadened to its current status as The Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture in 1982.

Just like then, we strive to provide expert instruction and guidance to our students. As a departmental student you will receive one-on-one advising from faculty members specialized in the areas of horticulture, landscape architecture, or landscape contracting. We provide opportunities for networking with future employers, studying abroad, and experiencing hands-on classroom techniques.

"The Oklahoma State University Horticulture and Landscape Architecture program is a place that has fostered my abilities and has allowed me to grow and reach my professional and personal goals. I truly believe that the education I am earning at Oklahoma State will allow me to make an impact in my professional career." - Mike Albert, Beaver, OK

Departmental Happenings

Our department just concluded another successful exchange program with 10 students and 2 faculty members from Peru. Working with the Landscape Architecture Design 4 Class, the students successfully completed a design project that included a site plan and museum to accommodate tourist for "El Brujo" - a 200 to 400 A.D. saccade ruin of the Moche Culture found along the northern coast of Peru.
