The Adult Learner Program at EGSC is the Right Fit For You!
East Georgia State College was an integral part of returning to school and continuing
my education. It provided a close-knit family environment where I felt comfortable
and accepted as a nontraditional student. I now have a fulfilling career that I love
as an Operating Room Nurse. EGSC helped me to help others.
After graduating high school in 1997, I knew that I wanted to go to college and pursue
a science degree; in fall 1997, I did just that. Although motivated to get a degree,
life and work became my focal point. Twenty years later, I found myself finally graduating
with a Bachelor in Biology degree from EGSC. I've learned to never give up on your
dreams; with determination, will, and desire, all things are possible.
Knowledge is power. Coming to college in the United States was a dream that came true,
but, more importantly, it has provided a growing experience. EGSC has been pivotal
to my success as they have created an environment for me to learn, gain more experience
and form long-term friendships with faculty and peers.
