The Organic Agriculture Certificate at the University of Georgia provides students with the scientific foundations and practical experiences necessary to understand organic agriculture production in the southeastern United States, particularly in the state of Georgia.
The program is open to undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students and includes coursework in organic gardening, agriculture, agroecology, soil, pest management, natural resources, conservation, greenhouse management, and others tailored to student interest.
Students build hands-on experience at UGA's four-acre organic farm and greenhouse located in Watkinsville, GA (six miles south of Athens). All produce from the farm is donated to local not-for-profit organizations. A separate internship on an organic or sustainable agriculture farm provides additional preparation for employment upon graduation.
