Doctorate degrees approved for
North Georgia

North Georgia College & State University has received approval to offer doctorate degrees, in addition to the more than 50 bachelor's and master's degree programs already available at the school. In October, the University System of Georgia Board of Regents approved North Georgia's plans to offer a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree, but the new degree level also required accreditation approval and a classification change by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Commission on Colleges. 

Books selected for university's Common Reader Program

First-year students at North Georgia are in for some excellent reading with the next three years' common readers, which have been selected recently. "The Library Committee hopes to build on the success and experience of the 2009-2010 common reader, Hope and Other Dangerous Pursuits by Laila Lalami," said Shawn Tonner, director of library services. This year's common reader supported North Georgia's efforts to provide students with a global learning perspective through a book that introduces them to a part of the world that is likely unfamiliar, yet has a significant impact.
