Golf/Recreation Turf Management Technology

(Perkinston Campus)

The Golf/Recreational Turf Management Technology program is designed to prepare individuals to establish, maintain, and manage grassed areas (turf) for golf/recreational and other purposes. The curriculum includes instruction in business management, design, turf grass management, irrigation, and operation/maintenance of equipment and machinery.

This program leads to an Associate in Applied Science Degree and is preparatory for employment upon graduation from MGCCC. Where a transfer to a senior college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with a community college counselor for advisement.

All students completing a career or technical program must complete either the MS-CPAS (Mississippi Career Planning and Assessment System) or an MGCCC Board- approved Technical Attainment Assessment where applicable. See your advisor for further details.
