About the Tour

College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences students have the rare opportunity to spend spring break traveling and exploring the vast industry that is Georgia Agriculture, while earning two hours of UGA credit.

This five-day tour, led by Doug Bailey, Assistant Dean of Academic Affairs, allows students to visit and meet some industry professionals engaged in a variety of Georgia commodities. The tour changes each year, but some of our stops have included Lewis Taylor Farms, Mercier Orchards, Three Sisters Vineyard, and many more locations that highlight the diverse areas of agriculture that the state has to offer.

There is a $250 fee associated with the tour, which covers the cost of all lodging and travel expenses, as well as some meals. A $100 deposit is due by 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 6, 2022 and the remaining balance is due by 5:00 p.m. Friday, January 13, 2023. Students enrolled in the associated course, AESC 4530, will be required to meet on intermittent Mondays, from 3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m., during the spring semester. This tour is open to both undergraduate and graduate students. Please contact Caroline Hinton for more information.

Applications are due by December 6th, 2022.
