More technical college students in Northeast Georgia will soon have another pathway to advance their education. North Georgia Technical College (NGTC) recently signed an articulation agreement with Emmanuel College to allow additional courses to transfer beginning this fall.
NGTC President Dr. Mark Ivester and Emmanuel President Dr. Ron White inked the agreement stating that course credits in Diversified Agriculture, Criminal Justice, and Business Administration programs will transfer from NGTC to Emmanuel College.
An articulation agreement the two schools signed in 2017 allowed for the transfer of course credits from NGTC’s Child Development program into Emmanuel’s Elementary Education program.
“This agreement will allow students to have a smoother transition, and we are so thankful for this partnership with Emmanuel to help our students meet their academic and professional careers,” says NGTC Vice President of Academic Affairs Mindy Glander.
“Emmanuel College has always been a wonderful educational partner,” says NGTC Dean of Academic Affairs Leslie McFarlin. “This is our very first articulation agreement for our Agriculture program and one of the first goals we set to accomplish on behalf of our agriculture students.”
The collaboration between the program directors at both colleges will continue “to foster wonderful opportunities for the North Georgia agriculture community,” McFarlin says. “We are so appreciative to Dr. John Henzel and his team for working so well with our college.”
This updated articulation agreement expands on a more general agreement that the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) already has with the Georgia Independent College Association (of which Emmanuel College is a member) for transfer of course credits from TSCG Schools to GICA schools.
Both colleges are located in Northeast Georgia. North Georgia Technical College has campuses in Habersham, Stephens, and Union counties. Emmanuel College is located in Franklin Springs in Franklin County.
