Environmental Horticulture Technology offers education in these specialized areas for men and women. As highly skilled technicians and supervisory personnel, graduates obtain employment in one of these highly specialized ornamental and environmental industries. This program provides the individual with a detailed understanding of the technical requirements of the industry and helps the student develop skills needed as a commercial environmental horticulturalist. Also, the program allows a student the opportunity to further develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills needed in the work place. A student educated in this program will find employment with golf courses, commercial properties, contract maintenance, garden centers, athletic and recreational areas, production and retail nurseries, schools, colleges, lawn maintenance and landscape companies, and related horticultural and agronomic service and/or production careers.

To be eligible to receive the Associate of Applied Science degree in Environmental Horticulture, each student must complete the required courses of one specific management area. A grade of C or better is required in ENGL 1101, MATH 1002 and all classes with AENT, AGRP, AGRY and HORT prefixes.

Many students earn at least two of the above degrees to better prepare them for the work force and improve their employability. The program is a mix of traditional and nontraditional students. Many non-traditional students enter the program with a previous degree and complete the technical classes within a year. A student lacking sufficient job experience is encouraged to participate in a minimum of two internship (on-the-job training) programs. Also, a student is encouraged to become a student member of the state and/or national professional trade organizations (i.e., Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association, Professional Lawn Care Association of America, Club Managers Association of America, American Association of Nurserymen, Southern Nurserymen Association, Georgia Green Industry Association, etc.) as applicable to the chosen major. Scholarships are available to specific majors from industry and professional organizations.

The Division of Business Administration

 

Information Technology

The Information Technology degree program is designed to offer the student a concentrated program in utilizing microcomputers to perform business applications. In addition to the knowledge gained in the area of Microsoft application, students may choose an emphasis from one of three areas: computer programming, network support, or business software applications.

Students choosing the software applications option will not only earn an associate degree in Information Technology but will also have the opportunity to earn Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) certification. MOUS certification is becoming widely recognized by business and industry as a benchmark to validate user skills. Students who select the programming option will have the competitive edge for those jobs requiring knowledge of JAVA, C++ and Visual Basic, while students choosing to emphasize networking will develop a strong foundation in network support.

Students majoring in this option must earn a “C” average (2.0) or better in all CISM courses.

The Division of Nursing

ASSOCIATE DEGREE PROGRAM

The Division of Nursing is an integral part of the college and offers educational opportunities to qualified individuals who seek a career in nursing. A student pursues a planned course of study which will help him/her develop intellectually, emotionally, and socially in preparation for nursing practice as a registered nurse (RN).

The associate degree program is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing.  The nursing program provides a curriculum which assists an individual to give safe, effective nursing care for culturally diverse clients in a variety of  health care settings.  The registered nurse functions as a member of the health care team in promoting and restoring optimal health.  The program consists of courses in Fundamentals, Assessment/Critical Thinking, Medical/Surgical, Mental Health, Maternity/Child & Women=s Health, and Pediatric Nursing.  A variety of teaching/learning strategies are utilized throughout the program.  In addition to the classroom hours, the student will participate in clinical, skills and computer laboratory experiences.  A grade of 75 or higher in each nursing course and a cumulative academic GPA of 2.0 must be maintained.

Abraham Baldwin College offers a Generic RN Track and a LPN to RN Transition Track during the day or evening hours. The Generic Track is the five semester traditional nursing program for any student who meets the admission criteria.  The LPN to RN Transition Track is offered to provide the licensed practical nurse with an opportunity for advanced placement. A student successfully completing NURS 1115 Transition to Associate Degree Nursing may enroll in the sophomore nursing sequence.

Prospective students need to be aware that clinical, skills and computer laboratory experiences may be taught during day, evening or night hours and at different locations based on the availability of appropriate learning experiences for each nursing course.  Certain hours for clinical, skills or computer laboratory experiences cannot be guaranteed.  Transportation to clinical sites is the responsibility of the student.

Because of the academically demanding program of study in the nursing curriculum, it is highly recommended that a student who anticipates enrolling in the nursing program complete several required general education courses prior to admission.

The College offers many extra-curricular activities which supplement the academic program and provide leadership and diversional opportunities. A nursing student is encouraged to be active in the Abraham Baldwin College Chapter of the Georgia Association of Nursing Students (GANS) and to participate in other college related activities.

Upon graduation the student receives the Associate of Science in Nursing Degree and is eligible to apply to take the examination for licensure as a registered nurse (RN.)  Permission to take the licensing examination is granted by the state examining board.  Graduates who have been arrested/convicted of a moral and/or legal violation of the law may not be granted permission to take the licensing examination.

Program Outcomes

The nursing graduate will:

1.   Demonstrate a knowledge of nursing practice necessary for performance as a registered nurse.

2.   Demonstrate the ability to function in the various roles of the associate degree nurse.

3.   Demonstrate critical thinking skills in the utilization of the nursing process to meet the needs of culturally diverse clients.

4.   Demonstrate the ability to practice in a variety of health care settings.

5.   Participate in activities which support the value of life-long learning.

6.   Demonstrate proficiency in written and oral communications.

 

STANDARDS FOR ADMISSION AND RETENTION
