degree specialization in Public Garden Leadership focuses on coursework in organizational leadership, strategic decision-making, and garden management. Students study and work alongside world renowned Cornell University faculty and field professionals in the forefront of garden management and development. And, because of the importance of hands-on learning, students regularly interact with Cornell Botanic Gardens staff and participate in in-depth study tours to public gardens in North America to learn from and network with field professionals.</p> <p><strong>The MPS degree program has two main components:</strong></p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Coursework: The suggested MPS curriculum includes a balance of courses to build professional and disciplinary competencies. Students work with a faculty advisor to customize their course of study based on their area of interest. </li> <li>Capstone project: With the guidance of a faculty advisor, students work on solving a real-world problem, building project management and team leadership skills sought by employers.</li> </ol> <p>Students are part of a cohort of College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Professional Master’s students specializing in diverse fields of study. The program is fast-paced and rigorous. Professional Master’s students have a dedicated support organization, offering career guidance and professional skill development.</p> <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Program Enrichment</h1> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Travel</h2> <p>Students have opportunities to travel to visit other public gardens and meet current public garden professionals.
