| ADDITIONAL INFORMATION |
|
Since 1970, Georgia Highlands College has served Northwest Georgia and
Northeast Alabama as a two-year, associate degree-granting institution
of the University System of Georgia. Founded as Floyd Junior College,
it now serves more than 5,200 students in the region.
GHC has added other teaching sites over the years, and now provides
instruction at the founding campus in Floyd County; Heritage Hall in
downtown Rome, which houses health sciences; the Cartersville campus,
which is due for another building in 2012; a site in Marietta on the
campus of Southern Polytechnic State University; and most recently, two
new sites in Paulding and Douglas Counties, which opened for fall
semester 2009.
To maximize convenience, Georgia Highlands has expanded its offerings
of online and DVD/cassette courses as well. Additionally, the college
maintains cooperative programs with regional technical colleges so that
students can earn workforce-ready degrees.
