Rhode Islanders have a unique relationship to the environment–and for our communities, ornamental plants, turf, agritourism, and conservation lands are as important as food crops. Our programs in ornamental horticulture, turfgrass management, food crop production, and control of invasive species, and insect-vectored diseases support all these aspects of the local economy. You’ll be fully prepared for a job in agricultural industries, or to conduct your own research.
