About the College
East Georgia State College (EGSC) is a two-year institution of the University System of Georgia. EGSC provides more than 1,600 students access to both academically transferable pathways and collaborative programs in occupation-related fields.
The main campus in Swainsboro offers a tight-knit community with residential options. The beautiful 400-acre pine forest campus has two small lakes, a challenging 18-hole disc golf course, and an active apiary, one of only 115 Bee Campuses across the nation. EGSC also operates instructional sites in Statesboro and Augusta that allow students to benefit from the small class sizes and affordability of EGSC while still experiencing the vibrant student life of the larger universities with which the College shares space.
Serving both traditional and nontraditional students, EGSC has a technologically advanced teaching and learning environment that is designed to enhance student success and provides a broad range of resources, opportunities, and amenities beyond the classroom that foster personal growth. The College also offers an on-campus residential option for students to experience.
The College offers five associate degrees:
The College also offers transfer pathways that provide students with wide-ranging courses that prepare them to earn a degree at a transferring institution of their choice. Transfer pathways enable students to achieve their academic goals by providing foundation curriculum courses that successfully transfer into a related academic program at another institution. Some of these options include pursuing bachelor's degrees in computer science, exercise science, nursing, and more.
EGSC continuously engages the communities it serves through public service and cultural enrichment. Its economic impact on its region is over $77 million.
The EGSC Bobcats are part of the National Junior College Athletic Association and Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association. Bobcat Athletics has four Varsity and Junior Varsity sports teams (baseball, softball, men's basketball, and women's basketball); Junior Varsity athletics was added in Fall 2021, and cross country and tennis will begin Fall 2022. The number of athletes in the athletics program will be 200-plus.
East Georgia State College's goal for the Vice President is to revive the Vision Series. This initiative brings programs of intellectual and cultural enrichment to the College and its broader constituency. Since its inception, the Vision Series has hosted outstanding personalities, authors, newsmakers, musical performances, dance companies, and theatrical productions. Through sponsored field trips, students and community members have opportunities to attend exhibitions and dramatic productions, not only in Georgia, but also in neighboring states.
East Georgia State College is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.
