For Nettie Baugher, NC State’s online Master of Horticultural Science program offered the best of both worlds. 

Baugher’s undergraduate degree is in horticulture, and she currently works in horticulture as a commercial horticulture area agent for Gates, Chowan, and Perquimans Counties with NC Cooperative Extension. When it came time to choose a graduate program, she decided to continue to nurture her lifelong interest in horticulture and pursue either a Master of Science or a Master of Horticultural Science (MHS) program. NC State’s acclaimed MHS program allowed Baugher more flexibility in her classes and graduation timeline. These ended up being deciding factors, so she went the MHS route.
