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
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. A student completing this course work will
receive the Associate of Applied Science in Business Information Technology
with an emphasis in either computer programming, network support, or software
applications.
Students desiring to earn a Bachelor’s degree at a
four-year institution can transfer this program of study to Valdosta State
University and receive 36 semester hours of block credit toward the Bachelor of
Applied Science, Technical Studies major, in addition to the University System
core requirements met at ABAC.

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.
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.
