Academic Programs at UGA-Tifton
For Undergraduate Students
The University of Georgia (UGA) Tifton campus offers a range of undergraduate programs tailored to students interested in agricultural and environmental sciences. These programs include Agribusiness, Agricultural Education, Agriscience and Environmental Systems, and Biological Science. Students typically transfer to UGA-Tifton after completing their foundational coursework elsewhere.
The campus also features the "Double Dawgs" program, which allows students to earn both a bachelor's and a master's degree in as little as five years, providing a cost-effective and accelerated path to advanced education.
For Grad Students
At the graduate level, UGA-Tifton offers several advanced degree programs. These include the Master of Agribusiness (MAB), Master of Agricultural and Environmental Education (MAEE), and the Master of Plant Protection and Pest Management (MPPPM). Additionally, students can pursue Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees in fields such as Agricultural and Applied Economics, Animal Science, Plant Breeding and Genetics, Crop and Soil Sciences, Entomology, Horticulture, and Plant Pathology. While some graduate programs can be completed entirely at the Tifton campus, others may require coursework at the Athens campus.
This agreement offers students from local technical colleges a seamless transition to UGA-Tifton, paving the way to bachelor’s degrees through the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. This program reflects UGA Tifton’s mission to advance agricultural and environmental sciences in Georgia by providing accessible, high-quality education and preparing the next generation of agricultural leaders. Guided by our “Stay Close, Go Far” philosophy, UGA Tifton provides students with the support, resources, and community they need to succeed in the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES).
The UGA Tifton Campus was proudly represented at the American Peanut Research and Education Society (APRES) Meeting! Over 20 graduate students attended and 6 brought home awards for their outstanding research presentations.
