Abstract

Compared to majors in agriculture as a whole, horticulture students were more likely to be female, to have a feeling that women have a place in agriculture, to have a higher grade point average, to come from larger high schools, to have transferred from another 4-year college, and to have changed majors. Horticulture students were less likely to have a farm background, to have parents with a farm background, to have farm work experience, and to have been primarily influenced by their parents on choice of major. Both groups had the same positive perception of agriculture as a career and both were financed during college by their parents.
