Golf Course Management
This program features environmental concerns as a central
academic component. Interested parties please contact Dr. Roger Wittie
via email.
The Golf Course Management program* has been designed
around a strong natural resource environmental component, which includes
such areas as turf development and management, irrigation, weed control,
plant pathology, and golf course management. This program will also require
experimental learning for students through a mentor relationship developed
during a supervised internship. The program meets an identified educational,
societal, and market need in addition to developing a cooperative relationship
with the golf course industry.
