SACS approves new degree programs at GGC

The Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools has approved eight new degree programs at Georgia Gwinnett College.  The new majors will be offered to students in January 2010.

The programs are as follows:

• Bachelor of Science in Education/Early Childhood Education
• Bachelor of Science in Education/Special Education
• Bachelor of Arts in English
• Bachelor of Arts in History
• Bachelor of Arts in Political Science
• Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice/Criminology
• Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
• Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science

"Adding these eight majors to the four we previously offered is critically important to the college and our students," Dr. Stas Preczewski, vice president of academic and student affairs said.  "In addition, we have nearly 40 concentrations in these areas as well as majors in business, information technology, psychology and biology."

The new programs were approved by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia earlier this year.
