These courses include Principles of Horticulture, which is being offered at the Rio Grande Campus this spring, and Principles of Agronomy, which will be offered in subsequent semesters. Successful completion of these courses, along with others in environmental science and technology, are required to receive a Certificate in Erosion and Sediment Control. The coursework is also designed to prepare a student to become a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment ControlTM(CPESC) after taking the CPSEC examination. Prospective students should contact Professor George Staff (gstaff@austincc.edu) with questions about this new ACC program.
