Can’t attend classes at N.C. State University? Join extension agents, teachers, industry professionals, and horticulture enthusiasts who are earning their Graduate Certificate in Horticultural Science through NCSU’s distance education (DE) program.

To earn your graduate certificate, you need to complete only 15 credit hours (see course listing here). No thesis or dissertation is required. Courses are taught via the Web and at two-way video-conferencing sites around the state, so you won’t need time off from work or face long commutes to campus.
