What if I only want to take 9 credits of horticultural therapy credits needed for professional registration by the American Horticultural Therapy Association (AHTA)?
AHTA requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Horticultural Therapy or a Bachelor’s Degree in another field and coursework in three topic areas: 1) 12 semester hours in the human science field; 2) 12 semester hours of horticulture coursework; and 3) 9 semester hours of horticultural therapy coursework for their professional registration program. The Graduate Certificate in Horticultural Therapy exceeds the requirements for AHTA professional registration. It is also possible to enroll in up to 9 credits of graduate coursework prior to applying to the Certificate Program. Please contact Dr. Candice Shoemaker at 785-532-1431 for more information on this opportunity.
