MREC Teaching Programs

The Mid-Florida Research and Education Center (MREC), part of the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (IFAS), is located in Apopka and serves the students of mid-Florida.  Faculty at MREC specialize in vegetable, fruit, and environmental horticulture.  Our facilities includes over 40,000 square feet of space devoted to research of plant growth and production.  The center also has seven walk-in coolers for simulated shipping studies and over 3,000 square feet of controlled-environment rooms to conduct experiments on foliage plants under indoor conditions.  Students pursue the Bachelor of Science degree by taking classes facilitated onsite and by distance education methods
