It is my pleasure to welcome you to the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources (SANR) at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College! Thank you for taking the time to visit our website to learn more about our School and the academic programs we have to offer.
I truly believe ABAC is a special place! Once you visit our campus and interact with the faculty, staff, and students you will understand. We offer all of the activities associated with larger campuses but in a smaller, more intimate environment. You are not just a “number” at ABAC – we take an interest in your education, and most likely, know you by name.
The SANR offers seven comprehensive Bachelor of Science degree programs in Agribusiness, Agricultural Communication, Agricultural Education, Agriculture, Environmental Horticulture, Agricultural Technology Management, and Natural Resource Management. Several of these degree programs have specific tracks or concentrations. As you can see, no matter your interest in agriculture and natural resources, there is a degree program for you.
All of these degree programs are known for their hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, which occur both in and outside of the classroom. We are fortunate to have several outdoor learning laboratories for our students to apply the principles and concepts learned in the classroom. These laboratories on campus include the J.G. Woodroof Farm, nearly 400 acres of cropland, pastures for our commercial cattle herd, turfgrass plots, and greenhouse facilities, Lake Baldwin, the Nature Study Area. Off-campus we have the Forest Lakes Golf Course, a 9-hole golf course located six miles east of campus, the pitcher plant bog, 8 acres in Turner County, and the John W. and Margaret Jones Langdale Forest, nearly 1,000 acres located 10 miles north of campus off Willis Still Road.
In addition to their academics, SANR students are very active across campus with numerous clubs, organizations, and activities where many take on leadership roles. As a result, our students have a well-rounded educational experience.
Employers seek out our graduates due to the educational, personal, and professional preparation they have received, which contributes to their success in the workplace. In addition, many of our graduates go on to continue their education by attending graduate or professional school. If you have questions about the School of Agriculture and Natural Resources, do not hesitate to reach out to us. The faculty and staff in the School are more than willing to help you.
We hope to see you on campus!
