Middle Georgia State University and Central Georgia Technical College sign Transfer Articulation Agreement
“The idea that we can actually put students into the workforce faster and take time that they can spend more with their families, with their friends, with their communities," said David Jenks, Provost & Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at Middle Georgia State University.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Middle Georgia State University and Central Georgia Technical College held a joint signing ceremony for an Transfer Articulation Agreement.
Four different two plus two articulation agreements were signed with their School of Education and Behavioral Sciences and according to MGA, it will create a streamlined transfer pathway for CGTC students who complete associate degrees in Education, Social Work, Psychology, and Criminal Justice to continue their studies at MGA.

David Jenks, Provost & Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs at MGA, says that the agreement removes barriers and costs for students and will help them stay on track and on time for graduation.
“The idea that we can actually put students into the workforce faster and take time that they can spend more with their families, with their friends, with their communities, away from taking credits that they don’t necessarily need is more time that we can give back to the community and build the Middle Georgia region,” said Jenks.
Jenks says the University’s economic impact is just over $300 million and for every student they get through the curriculum faster increases that by $60,000 over their lifespan.
