Abstract 
In order to determine whether horticulture programs within higher education are mirroring industry trends for greenhouse food crop production (GFCP) within their curricula, we set out to describe the presence of courses and topics within existing undergraduate horticulture programs devoted to GFCP currently offered at land-grant institutions within the United States. Our objectives were to describe: 1) the number of greenhouse food crop production courses offered by land-grant institutions; 2) the number of courses offered within land-grant institutions with objectives related to GFCP; 3) the number of objectives related to GFCP in courses offered by land-grant institutions; and 4) the amount of course time allocated to topics related to GFCP in courses offered by land-grant institutions. Forty-one institutions had a total of 84 courses with potential for GFCP while 69 institutions had no courses with potential for GFCP. From the 27 syllabi received, three courses were focused solely on GFCP, six courses contained a total of 8 GFCP-related objectives, and four courses contained a total of 59 GFCP-related topics in their timelines, which was calculated to total 51.5 hours devoted to GFCP. The authors recommend that land-grant institutions provide more courses and integrated course content in GFCP to better align curricula with industry needs and employment opportunities.
