The goal of the UMass Winter School for Turf Managers is to furnish turf management professionals with the concepts essential to maintaining high quality turfgrass. Winter School is open to those professionals associated with the management of golf courses, athletic fields, parks, industrial, municipal and private grounds, fine lawns and other situations in which quality turf is desired. The program is designed especially for experienced professionals who need to update their knowledge and skills and who want to advance in their chosen professions but cannot schedule a two or four-year program. Enrollment is limited, and a high school diploma is required. This is a full-time program scheduled all day Monday through Friday for seven weeks.
All students attend all courses.
A certificate will be awarded to those who satisfactorily complete the course requirements. The next available session of Winter School runs from the first week of January 2002 to February 16, 2002. Although the 2001 session of Winter School has passed, you may still want to take a peek at the most recent Flyer to get an idea about what is invoved in applying for and attending Winter School.
