From Hawk to Bulldog

Tell your SGSC advisor that you want the UGA-Tifton pathway. The agriculture pathway is housed within the Associate of Science degree and was designed with transfer to UGA-Tifton in mind.

• Ask to be placed on the Agriculture Pathway within the A.S. degree.
• Tell your advisor that your intended destination is UGA-Tifton.
• Contact UGA-Tifton early so your eventual bachelor’s degree is part of the plan from the beginning.

SGSC identifies agriculture-pathway focus areas that prepare students for different UGA-Tifton directions.

• Agribusiness
• Agricultural Education
• Agriscience and Environmental Systems
• Biological Science

Work with SGSC and UGA-Tifton advisors to choose courses that complete the A.S. and prepare you for the UGA degree you intend to pursue.

• Complete the SGSC core and agriculture-pathway requirements.
• Use USG core transfer rules and UGA course-equivalency resources to verify individual courses.
• Do not wait until graduation to check major-specific prerequisites.

Before you apply, make sure you meet the University of Georgia transfer consideration requirements for the Tifton campus.
