Admission to Program
B.S.A Agricultural Education students must complete the Double Dawgs Dual Degree Program Pathway Application during the fall semester of their 3rd (junior) year. If accepted, this will qualify them to enroll in graduate-level (6000) courses the spring semester of their 3rd year.
Please note, acceptance into the Double Dawgs program does not guarantee admittance into the M.A.E.E program. Students must apply to the M.A.E.E through the graduate college website and meet all requirements for entry into the M.A.E.E program.
After a student has completed a minimum of 60 hours in the AGED B.S.A. program, they will be able to apply to the dual degree (B.S.A./M.A.E.E.) program. However, this should be no later than the spring semester of their junior year.
Admission requirements include:
1) a minimum GRE score of 140 Quantitative & 150 Verbal OR a min. MAT score of 400
2) a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
3) the successful completion the following courses:
• MATH 1113 Pre-calculus
• CHEM 1211 & CHEM 1211L Freshman Chemistry I and Laboratory I
• BIOL 1107 & BIOL 1107L Principles of Biology I and Laboratory I
If accepted into the program, but unable to continue on as a full time MAEE student in the 5th and final year, students are unable to count the 12 credit hours of undergraduate/graduate coursework that was double counted in their senior year toward a future M.A.E.E degree or any other graduate degree at UGA.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Complete pathway applications must include:
1) Pathway application
2) letter from faculty mentor who has agreed to serve as the Double Dawg student’s advisor/chair for the MAEE degree
