GENERAL

 

The college has seven academic divisions through which the total academic instructional program is conducted. The division faculty work under the guidance of a chair who is responsible to the Vice President and Dean of Academic Affairs. The faculty and chairs are responsible for initiating new programs and changing existing programs.

College transfer programs and career programs of study are available to the student. The college transfer studies are designed to prepare the student to enter a senior institution as a junior. Some courses prescribed are common to both the career and transfer programs, others are not. To avoid loss of credit, any student who is undecided about entering a transfer program or a career program should work closely with their advisor to take courses common to both types of programs.

The college offers two associate degrees in the college transfer program: the Associate of Science and the Associate of Arts. Under one of these two degrees comes the program of study which the student chooses. An Associate of Science degree is offered in all divisions except Humanities. The college transfer curricula which lead to this degree prepare the student to transfer and continue a program leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in the elected major. The Associate of Arts degree offered in the Humanities and Social Science Divisions prepares the student who seeks to earn the Bachelor of Arts degree in the elected major.

Regardless of the program of study chosen, each student in the transfer program must complete the requirements of the college-wide core curriculum. Physical Education and Freshman Orientation course requirements are in addition to 60 hours required in the Core Curriculum.

BIOLOGICAL AND AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

 

Agricultural engineering is that branch of engineering which is concerned with problems of agriculture that are engineering in nature. Agriculture of today and the future has and will have its emphasis on diversity, automation, efficiency, quality and abundant production.

The expansion in the field of agricultural engineering has created an increasing need for individuals trained as professionals in basic science, agricultural and engineering subjects. These professionals will be engaged in industry with machinery companies, feed manufacturers, electric power suppliers, building material suppliers, government service with the Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Research Service, Agricultural Marketing Service, activities of the United States Department of Agriculture, teaching, research, or extension at colleges and universities, or self-employed as consultants, contractors, or sales engineers. A student who completes this curriculum will receive the Associate in Science degree.

FORESTRY AND/OR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

 

The educational preparation for professionals in forest resources is necessarily diversified and demanding. The quality of our physical environment and, ultimately, the quality of human life, rests to a great extent in the hands of forest resources personnel. The graduate in forest resources must be capable of making sound natural resources policy decisions which contribute heavily to social and economic well-being.

The curriculum prepares students to transfer to the University of Georgia as juniors. Although courses satisfactorily completed in meeting the core curriculum at Abraham Baldwin are accepted in transfer to the University of Georgia, completion of the prescribed pre-forest resources curriculum is required for admission to the professional program of the School of Forest Resources at the University of Georgia. If the student plans to transfer to a senior college other than the University of Georgia, he/she should inform the faculty advisor of such intentions. Students completing this curriculum will receive the Associate of Science degree.

The Learning Support Program

 

The Learning Support Program offers courses in English, reading, mathematics, and study skills as well as the Freshman Seminar course.  All learning support courses numbered below 1000 carry institutional credit only.  Entering students may be required to take the COMPASS placement tests in writing, reading, and mathematics to determine whether they are required to take learning support courses.  Students who score below either 430 SAT-Verbal/17 ACT-English or 400 SAT-Math/17 ACT-Math or have no SAT/ACT scores shall be required to take the appropriate parts of the COMPASS placement test.  Students entering programs leading to the baccalaureate degree who have not met the College Preparatory Curriculum requirements in English and mathematics shall be required to take the appropriate parts of the COMPASS placement test.  Non-traditional students must take all three areas of the COMPASS placement test.  A student scoring below the minimum score on the writing, reading, and/or mathematics placement test, must take the appropriate learning support courses since these courses are designed to teach skills needed for success in college level work.  Placement test scores, ACT or SAT scores, and high school records are used to determine whether a student is placed in learning support courses, regular college courses, or advanced college courses.  Below is a summary of the learning support requirements from the Learning Support Policy of the University System of Georgia.

 

A.                  Until learning support requirements have been satisfied, students shall not be permitted to take credit courses which require the content or the skills of the prerequisite courses.  Students with learning support placement must:

1.                    exit or exempt learning support reading as a prerequisite for social, natural, and physical science courses;

2.                    exit or exempt learning support English and reading as prerequisites for college-level English;

3.                    exit or exempt learning support mathematics as a prerequisite for mathematics, physics, and chemistry;

B.                   The following requirements apply to those students who have learning support requirements:

1.                    During each semester of enrollment a student must first register for all required learning support courses before being allowed to register for other courses.  This policy also applies to part-time students.  Two exceptions are possible:

·              When two or three learning support areas are required and a student is enrolled in at least one  learning support course, a freshman orientation course or physical education or other activity or performance courses may be taken that semester instead of one of the required  learning support courses.

·              In the event that a required  learning support course is not available, a student may enroll in a course for degree credit if the student has met the course prerequisites, subject to the written approval of the division chair.

                1a.           A third exception applies to students in Career and Tech programs at ABAC

·              If career tech students need all three learning support areas, they may take English and reading with other college level courses that do not have a  learning support prerequisite.  The following semester, the student should enroll in REMM 0090.

2.                    Students who have accumulated 20 semester hours of college-level credit and have not successfully completed required  learning support courses may enroll only in  learning support courses until requirements are successfully completed.

3.                    Students with  learning support requirements who are enrolled in both  learning support courses and credit courses may not withdraw from the required  learning support courses with a “W” unless they also withdraw from credit courses.

4.                    To exit a  learning support area, students must complete the exit level  learning support course in that area, meet any established institutional standards, and attain at least the University System minimum score on the appropriate part of COMPASS.  An exit writing sample shall also be required in  learning support English.

C.                   If a student does not complete requirements for an area in twelve semester hours or three semesters, whichever occurs first, the student will be suspended.  The student may not be considered for readmission within three years of the suspension.

Prior to suspending a student who has not exited a  learning support area within the twelve-semester hour or three semester limit, an institution may allow the student to appeal for one additional course.  The student must:

                ·              be individually evaluated and determined to have a reasonable chance of success

                ·              be in an exit level course

                ·              have reached the limit in only one  learning support area

If granted the additional course, the student may enroll in only the  learning support course.

D.                  Students who have been suspended from the institution without completing  learning support requirements may not be exempted from their  learning support requirements through transfer of course credit unless they are eligible for transfer admission under the institution’s regular transfer admission policies.

E.                   Students who have not taken any college work in the University System for three years may be retested with COMPASS (in any unsatisfied area) and readmitted without a  learning support requirement if they meet the institutional criteria for exemption.  Students who do not exempt on the retest may appeal for readmission.  Students readmitted under this provision are subject to the 20-hour limit on college-level course work and may not take credit work if they had earned 20 credit hours during their previous period(s) of enrollment.

F.                   Students with learning disorders who are required to enroll in  learning support must fulfill all stated requirements, including the COMPASS requirements.  These students should be provided with appropriate course accommodations.

Appropriate course and testing accommodations will be made for students with visual, hearing, or motor impairment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Abraham Baldwin’s Evening and Off-Campus Programs seek to accommodate both traditional and non-traditional students through flexible programming designed to provide educational opportunities when and where students need them. Through the on-campus evening program a student may obtain one of nine different associate degrees entirely by attending classes at night. Two off-campus locations offer evening associate degree programs as well.

A student may attend classes on the Square at the Moultrie off-campus location and earn an associate degree either in education or business. In addition, through a cooperative agreement with the Moultrie Area Technical Institute, a Moultrie area student may acquire an associate in applied science degree in one of twenty-five different technical fields. Through a cooperative agreement with East Central Technical Institute, a student may earn an associate in applied science degree in one of ten different areas by attending classes in Fitzgerald.

ABAC also offers a four-year degree from area universities for Associate of Applied science graduates.  Once a student completes an Associate of Applied Science degree at ABAC, several area universities offer a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.S.) degree in various technical areas.  The universities include Albany State University, Georgia Southwestern State University, and Valdosta State University.  The courses will be delivered on the ABAC campus through lecture, distance learning, and on-line classes.

An Associate of Science degree program graduate may take advantage of cooperative programs with three universities in the University System (Albany State University, Georgia Southwestern State University, and Valdosta State University) which lead to bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business, education, and nursing. These programs permit area residents to receive four-year and graduate degrees without leaving the ABAC campus.

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS

Abraham Baldwin has long been known as an academic institution that is willing to help those who are willing to help themselves. This is evidenced by a rapidly growing segment of the student body, non-traditional students, who wholeheartedly embrace both the work ethic and a creed of self-improvement. In turn, the college endorses their efforts, believing that those who are willing to help themselves add a special dimension to the learning process and should be encouraged to do so.

Approximately 20% of the ABAC student body is made up of non-traditional students. Many of these non-traditional students deferred or interrupted their academic goals after high school for reasons of work, family, and other commitments; others were not ready for college when they were younger; and many have found that lifelong learning is required for professional development, active citizenship, and personal satisfaction.

Abraham Baldwin is committed to accommodating the needs of the non-traditional students by offering college, career, and developmental programs at times and places which are convenient. It acknowledges that most non-traditional students are adult learners who have family and work responsibilities. Because of this, many have special needs but quite often possess unique strengths and experiences which enhance the classroom environment.

Due to its commitment to the non-traditional student, ABAC has established the Office of Evening and Of
