Central Georgia Technical College (CGTC) will sign two new articulation agreements with Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) on Thursday, July 18, 2019, at 2:30 p.m., in the Roy H. “Sonny” Watson Health Sciences Building board room on the College’s Warner Robins campus. The agreements will lay out pathways for transfer of credit from CGTC’s new General Studies associate degree into multiple four-year programs at Georgia Southwestern, including a designated pathway for transfer into GSW’s Long-Term Care Management program.
 
Articulation agreements allow students to benefit from the seamless transfer of credit earned at one institution into programs at another, often reducing cost and encouraging further pursuit of higher education, personal growth, and career advancement.
 
Leadership from both institutions will be on-hand for the signing.
 
The signing will assure transfer of credit from CGTC into GSW’s Bachelor of Science in Long-Term Care Management, a first-of-its-kind in the nation, fully online program that prepares graduates to assist patients and families who are caring for older relatives or disabled adults.
 
Beginning fall semester 2019, CGTC will offer its newest associate degree in General Studies. Students who complete the General Studies program and meet GSW admissions requirements can apply to eligible bachelor’s degree programs.
 
The College’s Warner Robins campus is located at 80 Cohen Walker Dr., Warner Robins, Ga., 31088.
