Looking Back on ’22: A Year in ReviewShare this page
We started 2022 off with our MBA and nursing programs being ranked as No. 1 in the state and wrapped it up with the largest fall graduating class in the institution’s history. In between, we launched new degree programs in computing, digital and social media communications, and integrative health and wellness; formed partnerships with Dalton State College, Georgia Highlands College, and Andrew College; and stayed committed to the strategic plan’s priorities of relevance, competitiveness, and placemaking.
