8 Georgia Colleges Could Merge into 4, Including 2 in Middle GA

Eight college campuses across Georgia, including 2 here in Middle Georgia, could merge into four to save money.

A merger list is expected to be presented to the state board of regents next week. The proposal would merge Waycross College with South Georgia College; Augusta State College with the Georgia Health Sciences University; Middle Georgia College with Macon State College; and Gainesville College with North Georgia College and State University.

An official statement on the proposal is expected to be made Friday.
