Work like an Ag Dawg
Ag Dawgs are not strangers to hard work.
Students in the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences have plenty of opportunities to get their hands dirty, whether it's out in the field or inside a lab, greenhouse or barn. They gain the practical knowledge and skills employers seek, and as a result, our graduates are consistently in demand for jobs that provide a safe food supply, a cleaner environment and better lives for all people. CAES has the highest placement rate of alumni into graduate and professional schools, and our graduates have the second-highest median starting salaries out of all UGA graduates. Our featured alumni know firsthand why it's great to be an Ag Dawg.
