With 85 member institutions stretching from Mississippi to New York, CCA is a voluntary association of public community colleges serving the common interests of member colleges and their communities.
CCA members in Georgia include: Chattahoochee Technical College, Lanier Technical College, Athens Technical College, Georgia Northwestern Technical College and North Georgia Technical College.
The common goal of the agreement is to provide CCA member-institution graduates and employees with flexible, personalized learning pathways to higher education and professional development through WGU’s competency-based online programs. The agreement will also formalize the transfer of applicable credits between CCA members and WGU, so graduates of member schools will likely not need to repeat coursework as they pursue bachelor’s degrees through WGU.
Graduates, staff and faculty of CCA member schools will also be able to apply for specially designated Learn Where You Live Scholarships valued up to $3,000 each. Tuition is around $4,000 per six-month term for most WGU bachelor’s degree programs, and students can take as many classes as they wish within a term with the consent of their assigned program mentor.
WGU is an accredited, nonprofit online university offering over 80 bachelor’s and master’s degrees and certificate programs in business, technology, health care and K-12 education. WGU’s asynchronous competency-based programs are designed to fit into busy work and home schedules and create pathways to opportunity.
