TGSAS is a four week college experience for rising high school juniors and seniors. Scholars are exposed to various aspects of agriculture and natural resources both in the classroom, and through opportunities for hands on learning both on and off campus at the University of Tennessee Martin. Classes are taught by members of the Department of Agriculture, Geosciences, and Natural Resources (AGN) faculty. Scholars take two college credit classes (6 hours) including possible choices of precision agriculture, veterinary science, natural resources management, or agricultural business.
Scholars stay on campus in a UTM dormitory or in a system approved hotel during chaperoned and supervised overnight field trips. All meals are provided either in the UTM cafeteria or the scholars are given a per diem for meals off campus. Tuition, books, and transportation for activities and field trips are provided too. Supervision is provided at all times by faculty, staff and seven experienced counselors.
