About ABAC
Since 1908, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College has provided unique, hands-on learning opportunities for students as the South’s premier destination for Agricultural studies. Our offerings have grown a great deal since our founding, now including a wide range of more traditional 4-year degrees and paths to success including a highly sought-after nursing program, innovative arts and science tracks, and an ever-growing list of learning opportunities and majors for our students. A member of the 26-member University System of Georgia, ABAC is proud to support enrollment of over 4,000 students from 155 of Georgia’s 159 counties, 18 states, and 24 countries. Our home is in Tifton, Georgia, a tight-knit and thriving town nestled among the lush pines of South Georgia. ABAC takes pride in our community involvement and the breadth of opportunities our city provides to get involved in hands-on learning from healthcare to business experience. Our college is a genuine member of the community at large. The ABAC campus offers apartment-style housing for 1,400 students and a wealth of resources and opportunities for students to get involved, learn, and grow in our academic community. Chances to practically apply what is learned in the classroom in the real world begin on day one. ABAC’s sprawling campus is equipped with a multitude of resources such as the J.G. Woodroof Farm, Forest Lakes Golf Course, and the Georgia Museum of Agriculture and Historic Village. We also offer chances to get involved outside of Tifton at our instructional site in Bainbridge.
