The Double Dawgs program was created to allow highly ambitious students the opportunity to earn both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in five years or less. Undergraduate students interested in participating in the UGA Double Dawgs program, should engage in a conversation early in their time at UGA with the Horticulture Undergraduate Advisor and then with the Horticulture Graduate Advisor to discuss opportunities along this path.
To assure academic success, it is advised that undergraduates interested in pursuing a Horticulture Double Dawgs degree (B.S.A. and M.S.) investigate this program in their freshman year and have a full plan developed with a Master's graduate faculty advisor in their sophomore year. To successfully complete this program with a single year for a master's degree, students should be fully enrolled as a double dawg in their junior year. Please see the Horticulture Double Dawgs program webpage for more information and email HortBSA@uga.edu for to initiate an academic discussion and planning.
