Established in 1973, the Master of Plant Protection and Pest Management (MPPPM) program at the University of Georgia has a longstanding reputation for excellence. It was the first professional degree in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the United States and remains one of fewer than five programs of its kind nationwide. The MPPPM is led by nationally recognized faculty who are experts in their fields, offering students a rigorous, interdisciplinary education grounded in real-world application.
Ideal for those pursuing careers in IPM, agricultural consulting, environmental protection, or regulatory services, the MPPPM provides a strong foundation for immediate entry into the workforce. From Double Dawgs to traditional post-baccalaureate admission, UGA offers multiple pathways to the degree making it accessible to a wide range of students with diverse academic and professional goals.
