We're excited to meet you! But before we get to the application, here are some important things to know: Entrance Requirements Either initiate a major change through Athena.uga.edu (if a current UGA student) or apply to UGA through Undergraduate Admissions (if not yet a UGA student) Once admissions decisions are made, any major change requests for accepted students will be approved. Be sure to choose the official major, not the intended major (for example, choose “Water and Soil Resources,” NOT “Water and Soil Resources Intended”). Need help? In Athena, go to Student > Student & Registration > My Programs > Add Major Then, follow the button to fill out the application! Apply to the Professional Program
