Agricultural Education

Undergraduate Program

Agricultural Education is a program in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, working in cooperation with the College of Education, with courses from both disciplines. The University requires you to take a number of core courses in the natural and physical sciences, the social sciences, and the humanities. You will also take basic education courses concerning foundations, special needs/exceptional children, and educational psychology. The Agricultural Education faculty will provide instruction in teaching methods, curriculum planning, leadership development and community study. They also supervise school practicums, apprentice (student) teaching, and ag industry internships in locations throughout Georgia.

Beyond these basic requirements, you are free to choose technical agriculture courses that fit your interests and career plans. You are strongly advised to take a wide variety of courses in all areas of agriculture in order to serve the diverse interests of public school students, and to give you career versatility. However, you can still concentrate up to four courses in an area that may be of particular interest to you, such as horticulture, agronomy, animal science, dairy science, poultry science, economics, or engineering technology. You can get specific information on all phases of the admissions procedure by contacting the Department of Agricultural Education.
