Working with instructors who are experts in their field, students develop expertise and skills needed to serve a variety of landscaping careers and applications such as recreational parks, campuses, commercial and industrial parks, association-owned residential common areas, baseball fields and golf courses.

Who Can Benefit
The Landscape Irrigation Certificate is for those who wish to learn scientific principles of soil-water-plant relationships, landscape plant anatomy and physiology as it relates to water use, and physics and meteorology as they relate to irrigation.
