Grow the Future of Food, Anywhere, Online

Master the fundamentals of hydroponics and controlled environment agriculture (CEA) in a fully online, asynchronous course from the University of Arizona, built on more than 20 years of hydroponic research and teaching. Learn how to grow more with less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, skills you can apply to a career in sustainable agriculture or a backyard growing system of your own, on a schedule that fits your life.

What Is Hydroponics?

Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil, using nutrient-rich water solutions to deliver everything a plant needs directly to its roots. Combined with controlled environment agriculture (CEA), which means growing in greenhouses, vertical farms, or indoor systems where temperature, light, and humidity are managed, hydroponics allows growers to produce food more efficiently, with significantly less water and fewer chemical inputs than traditional field agriculture. It's a rapidly growing field at the intersection of agriculture, engineering, and sustainability.

What You'll Learn

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

• Explain the basic principles of hydroponics and controlled environment agriculture (CEA), including benefits, applications, and challenges.
• Describe the components and operation of common hydroponic systems, including deep water culture (DWC), nutrient film technique (NFT), and drip systems.
• Compare hydroponic substrate types based on water-holding capacity, air porosity, reuse, and application.
• Explain the purpose and management of hydroponic nutrient solutions, including essential nutrients, electrical conductivity (EC), pH, and crop-specific recipes.
• Describe how concentrated nutrient stocks are prepared, dosed, and managed to maintain balanced nutrient solutions.

Instructor

Taught by Dr. Triston Hooks of the University of Arizona. Dr. Hooks is an Assistant Professor of Practice in the Department of Biosystems Engineering and serves as the Hydroponic Specialist at the Controlled Environment Agriculture Center (CEAC). He earned his Ph.D. in Plant and Environmental Sciences from New Mexico State University and completed a postdoctoral appointment at Texas A&M AgriLife Research Center, where he focused on urban agriculture and CEA technology, including hydroponic systems and LED lighting. His current research covers greenhouse hydroponic specialty crop production (tomatoes, peppers, cucurbits, strawberries, and more), nutrient solution management, bio-circular substrates, and integrated pest management for CEA. Dr. Hooks teaches this course through hands-on, experiential learning at the CEAC Teaching Greenhouse.

Research Backing

This course is built on more than 20 years of hydroponic research and teaching, applied to real lettuce and tomato greenhouse production, the same principles used in commercial CEA operations today. Learners come away with a practical foundation they can apply immediately, whether that's toward a career path in controlled environment agriculture or a personal hydroponic growing project.

Plan a Real Project. Build a Career-Ready Portfolio.

Beginning Project Management is a 35-hour, self-paced Arizona Online course that walks you through every stage of planning a real project, no experience required.

Project management is one of the fastest-growing, most in-demand professional skill sets today. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects roughly 78,200 project management openings each year through 2034, with a median annual wage of $100,750.

But breaking into project management can feel like a catch-22: most roles ask for experience, and most experience comes from already having held the role. Beginning Project Management removes that barrier. Instead of studying project management theory in isolation, you plan a real project of your own choosing from the very first module, building the kind of hands-on portfolio that hiring managers want to see.

Whether you're managing projects informally at work, returning to the workforce, or exploring a new career direction, this course gives you a practical, low-risk way to build skills that apply across every industry, from healthcare and construction to marketing and nonprofit work.

What You Will Learn

By the end of the course, you'll have a complete Foundational Project Management Portfolio built around a real project, ready to share in interviews or apply immediately at work.

Backed by the University of Arizona

Beginning Project Management is developed and delivered by Arizona Online, the continuing and professional education division of the University of Arizona. The course is built entirely in-house using an original, project-based instructional design model, rather than adapted from an outside curriculum.

Beginning Project Management is the first course in an expanding Arizona Online project management series, with additional applied and advanced courses in development.

Course content is designed around widely recognized project management terminology, frameworks, and planning tools used across industries.

• Brands that struggle to stay culturally relevant over time
