The UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES) is one of 18 colleges at the University of Georgia, a public land-grant research university in Athens, Georgia.[2]

History

[edit]

CAES was founded in 1859 by the University of Georgia Board of Trustees as part of a complete reorganization of the university.[1] The UGA Cooperative Extension Service was founded in 1914 to take research-based agricultural information from the university into Georgia communities.[2] In 1918, CAES became the first college at the University of Georgia to accept women.[2]

CAES has three main campuses: Athens, Tifton, and Griffin. All three campuses are home to various academic programs, research stations, and Extension programs.

Today, CAES is the No. 8 public university in the United States for agricultural sciences.[3] UGA Extension serves each of Georgia's 159 counties with in-county agents specializing in agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, and 4-H.[4] UGA Extension administers Georgia's largest youth program, Georgia 4-H.[5]
