The Department of Horticulture offers not only comprehensive education on the cultivation and production of vegetables, fruits, flowers, and garden plants but also includes postharvest handling and processing technology, breeding techniques using biotechnology, and environmental control methods and engineering to ensure the production of high-quality horticultural crops. We are committed to academic research and education focused on the development and management of horticultural cultivation facilities, such as greenhouse structures, environmental management systems, and automation devices essential for practical applications. Through these efforts, we aim to effectively address the rapidly changing conditions in the horticultural industry effectively and train professional horticulturists. These experts will contribute to local and national development through specialized technology, scientific management, and the production of various horticultural plants, as well as through the aesthetic and strategic planning and management of living spaces. Additionally, horticulture has recently gained recognition as a key discipline for introducing nature into urban life. We provide education on theories and techniques related to living horticulture, ornamental horticulture, landscape horticulture, and indoor horticulture.
