School Description
Provided by Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC) is a coeducational college specializing in agriculture, located in Tifton, Georgia. It is a part of the University System of Georgia, and is named for Abraham Baldwin, the first president of the University of Georgia, Georgia's first university.
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College was established in 1908 as the Second District A&M School, became South Georgia A&M College in 1924 and Georgia State College for Men in 1929. Named for a signer of the United States Constitution and the first president of the University of Georgia, the college assumed its present name in 1933 when it became a unit of the University System of Georgia. At that time ABAC embarked on a mission devoted primarily to associate-level studies in agriculture, home economics, and related fields. ABAC's role later expanded to include a diverse educational program.
The Division of Agriculture and Forest Resources is the largest division on campus, and nursing is ABAC's largest single program major. The college offers 40 college transfer programs in which students move on to four-year colleges and universities after their ABAC careers are complete. Students can also choose from 15 two-year career technological degrees which take them into the job market. Another option is the certificate program, where ABAC offers 19 selections, each of which can be completed in one year.
Student life
Students live on campus in the ABAC Place apartments, the largest housing project of its kind at a two-year college in America. Most units are four-bedroom, two-bath with a completely furnished kitchen and living area. The units are indeed apartments, rather than traditional dorms. Students are not allowed to leave their doors open in the typical college dormitory style. Unlike many colleges who manage housing through a third party, all housing at ABAC is directly managed by the Student Life and Housing Office, and order maintained by a comparatively small number of highly empowered Resident Assistants known as CA's, along with a coordinator for each building.
