Coastal Georgia Community College gets nod to become 4 year college!

That's great news for this area. As it stands now, CGCC, per se, can only confer associate degrees which will transfer to any senior college in the Georgia public university system. To obtain a bachelor's degree, students must either transfer to a college out of the area, or, for a limited selection of degrees, may obtain their bachelor's degree from either Armstrong Atlantic State University ( my alma mater) or Georgia Southern University, right there on the CGCC campus, via the "Brunswick Center," as it is called. There are also a limited number of masters programs available via the Brunswick Center's two co-operating universities. My guess is that the master's programs will continue to be available, as well, perhaps, as some bachelors' programs which the new, 4 year CGCC (which willl no doubt be re-named) will not immediately offer. Hopefully, there will come a day when local students need go no farther than the Camden satellite campus to complete some bachelor programs. Click on post title for link to GTU story.
