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.
