Department Introduction

Department of Smart Farm Science
Introduction
TThe Department of Horticulture was established in 1974 and was reorganized into the Department of Life Sciences within the College of Life Sciences in 2003. In 2004, the department name was changed from the Horticulture Major to the Horticultural Biotechnology Major. In 2023, it was restructured from the Department of Horticultural Biotechnology to the Department of Smart Farm Science, which is its current designation. The master's program, integrated master's and Ph.D. program, and Ph.D. program in Smart Farm Science aim to cultivate horticultural experts who can contribute to the creation of a cultural world through systematic and rational exploration and education related to the cultivation, production, utilization, and breeding of horticultural crops. To achieve this educational objective, the program focuses on students who have acquired basic theories in general horticulture at the undergraduate level. These students will develop rational and scientific interpretation skills regarding various phenomena related to the cultivation, breeding, crop protection, distribution, and processing of vegetables, fruits, and flowers. By nurturing problem-solving abilities in horticultural technology development, the program aims to produce professional leaders with academic expertise and practical skills in horticultural biotechnology, capable of contributing to society.
