In entering into the agreement, Wiregrass Georgia Technical College and the College of Coastal Georgia have several goals, which include: Assisting prospective transfer students at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College to progress toward their baccalaureate degree goals; Enabling Wiregrass Georgia Technical College students to follow a course of study that allows them to begin upper-level course work immediately upon transfer; Assuring Wiregrass Georgia Technical College students that if they follow the terms of this approved articulation agreement, they will be admitted to the Bachelor of Applied Science in Workforce Management and Leadership at the College of Coastal Georgia; Facilitating cooperation between counseling offices and transfer centers at their respective institutions. The College of Coastal Georgia in partnership with the Wiregrass Georgia Technical College has developed transfer procedures to implement this agreement. To assure that the articulation agreement remains current, the respective parties agree to consult regularly on issues of enrollment, articulation, and program changes. The goal of both Wiregrass Georgia Technical College and the College of Coastal Georgia is to minimize barriers to transfer and increase the number of students who successfully complete the baccalaureate degree.
