Program overview
A degree completion route building on a two year diploma, covering advanced turfgrass science, golf facility operations and management, business and financial planning, environmental stewardship and an eight month field study placement.
Very few institutions anywhere offer a degree in this field, and it exists because golf course superintendent roles combine agronomy, water and environmental management, budgets and staff leadership in a way no general business or turf qualification covers. Note the intake pattern: November entry only, which is unusual and needs planning.
Bachelor of Applied Science in Golf Course Management is a degree, so it is exempt from the field of study requirement entirely and no CIP code check applies. The code recorded here, 31.0302, is for your reference only.
