General and Career Information:
Agriculture involves the production of food and fiber.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics maintains detailed and current information on agriculture related careers. Two main career fields are discussed: Farmers and Farm Managers, and Agricultural Scientists. Excellent descriptions of the nature of agricultural work are provided by these two BLS sites.
The American Farm Bureau maintains a site with links to information on careers in agriculture.
Transfer Institutions
Students enrolled in the field of study program in Agriculture at Clayton State University must transfer to other institutions to obtain a Bachelors or graduate degree.
Only two institutions within the University System of Georgia offer Bachelors or graduate degrees in agricultural disciplines:
- Fort Valley State University offers a B.S. in Agriculture through its College of Agriculture.
- The College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Georgia offers a B.S. in Agriculture, and M.S. and Ph.D. in a variety of agricultural disciplines. A listing of graduate degrees in agricultural disciplines offered at the University of Georgia is provided by the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.
Recommended Curriculum
The recommended curriculum for the transfer program of study in Agriculture and Environmental Science in the Core Curriculum with field of study in Agriculture has been designed to meet the requirements for transfer to the University of Georgia. While Areas A-E of the Core Curriculum are valid for all students, there are some special requirements for agriculture students and all choices are not equal in terms of transfer requirements or optimum sequencing order.
The transfer requirements for agriculture include both the Principles of Biology and Principles of Chemistry sequences for science majors. Agriculture students should NOT select the physics sequence.
