Build Your Future in Horticulture
The Horticulture Department at Fullerton College is one of the leading community college programs in California. We offer a varied program that provides “hands-on” classes for homeowners, nursery and landscape employees, and students wishing to enter the “green industry.” With a unique blend of the old and the new, our facilities combine advanced technology with traditional landscaping and growing practices. Our department hosts events for such groups as Fullerton Beautiful, Orange County Master Gardeners, and the California Landscape Contractors Association. Our program hosts several plant sales each year to help provide gardeners with unusual garden plants, herbs, and vegetables. The program of instruction is as unique and varied as the students who enroll in our courses.

Character Artist at MGA Entertainment
“I’ve recently become a Character Artist at MGA Entertainment and I owe it all to the Digital Arts CTE program at Fullerton College. Every single class I took helped me build a portfolio that was competitive enough to land me a job where all of my coworkers come from private colleges, and I think that’s pretty cool. Not only are the classes very useful but the professors that teach them are as well. They have endless amounts of knowledge and experience in their fields and are super eager to help their students. I am very proud and grateful to have been a part of the CTE program and I can’t wait to see where I go in the future thanks to Fullerton College.”
