East Georgia State College (EGSC) is thrilled to announce an outstanding Fall 2024 semester, highlighted by an increase in enrollment, strong academic performance, and continued commitment to providing high-quality education. The success of the Fall 2024 semester builds upon the college’s continued achievements in academics, athletics, and community engagement.

This fall, EGSC welcomed a 3.3% increase in enrollment compared to the previous year, reflecting the college’s commitment to student success. EGSC’s enrollment for Fall 2024 was 1,826 students among the three campus locations.

“We are incredibly proud to see our college community grow and thrive,” said Dr. David Schecter, President of EGSC. “This increase in enrollment is a testament to the hard work of our faculty and staff and the dedication we have to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for all students.”

EGSC has worked diligently to expand its program offerings for students. This fall, the college announced the addition of its own Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree. This program is currently accepting applications and will begin in January. Building on the College’s most popular associate’s degree program, the expansion to the program as a bachelor’s degree will provide a pathway for students to complete their business education at EGSC rather than transferring to another institution. The BBA program aligns with the College’s mission and vision to extend associate degree options and develop baccalaureate degrees targeted to meet the workforce needs of our community.

The Bachelor of Business Administration is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and experiences required to succeed in various business and management roles. Students can select from a range of business courses to meet their needs or interests. Concentrations will be offered in financial technology, healthcare administration, office administration and technology, film and television post-production, and data science. The program will also provide an opportunity to work with area employers to address their employees’ educational needs and create student internship opportunities.

In the Spring 2025 semester, EGSC looks forward to further strengthening its academic programs, deepening community partnerships, and continuing to build a strong foundation for future generations of students.
