Mission Statement

Our mission is to discover, apply, and disseminate knowledge and technology and to develop leaders in horticulture and landscape architecture.  Our focus is to solve problems for people, agriculture, and the environment, and to improve policy making and public education while developing a workplace conducive to scholarship and creativity fostered by teamwork and individual diversity.  Only then can excellence be achieved in the fulfillment of our mission.  Our goal is to achieve increased professional satisfaction and to become recognized leaders in the state, the nation, and the world in serving agriculture, science, and society.

Three departmental majors are offered at Colorado State University -- horticulture, landscape architecture, and landscape horticulture.  Within the horticulture and landscape horticulture majors, students specialize in one of several concentrations.
