CAMDEN CENTER
INTRODUCTION
The Camden Center opened in January 1993 in the building formerly occupied by the Kingsland Elementary School.
Seventy-five acres of land were donated for the Center by Sondra and Celso Gonzalez-Falla in 1996 and the current
90,000 square foot facility was dedicated in May 2004. The Center was designed and built when the College
was designated as a community college offering both associate degrees for transfer as well as technical education
programs leading towards certificates and associate degrees.
When the College became a state college in 2008, the technical education programs were transferred to Altamaha
Technical College. As part of that transition, the College provides classroom, laboratory and office space to Altamaha
in order to allow the institution to continue offering some technical education programs to residents of Camden County.
ACADEMICS
Various undergraduate courses are offered both during the day and in the evening throughout the week at the Camden
Center. In fall 2015, over 400 students took at least one course at the Camden Center.
During fall 2015, 10 full-time faculty members were assigned to the Camden Center. In addition, some full-time faculty
members assigned to the Brunswick campus teach one or more courses at the Center along with part-time faculty.
Faculty members who teach at the Center schedule office hours on-site to assist students and to provide academic
advisement
Additionally, a full-time Laboratory Coordinator is assigned to the Center to support lab course offerings and an
Academic Advisor from the Academic Advising Center visits the Camden Center during high needs times, i.e., new student

track) at the Camden Center. Camden Center students may complete all Core Area A – F courses for the Associate of
Science (AS) pre-majors for transfer in several areas including biology, business, criminal justice, health informatics,
history, medical technology, psychology, and sociology. All Core Area A – F courses for the Associate of Arts (AA) premajors for transfer may be completed in communication, English, modern foreign languages, and philosophy.

ENROLLMENT (FTE)
FTE enrollment is the conversion of the number of all students enrolled full-time and part-time into an equivalent
number of full-time students. To calculate FTE, each full-time student (where full-time is defined as enrolled in 12 or

addition of both numbers.

GENERAL EDUCATION
The College of Coastal Georgia (CCGA) adheres to the new guidelines and policies set forth by the USG
regarding core curriculum courses required for all students. In brief, six areas (A-F) are designated in which each
student must take a requisite number of hours to graduate or transfer from CCGA. The rationale for the areas
encompasses a broad academic base on which to build major specific courses. Every USG Institution is required to
have a core curriculum of precisely 42 semester hours and an Area F of precisely 18 hours.
