University System of Georgia - Explores Online Bachelors

Vonnegut · Aug 29, 2021

Valdosta State University is launching an E-degree pilot project this month that will offer eight undergraduate degrees in subjects ranging from criminal justice to general business to elementary education.

“We were always fearful some courses couldn’t be taught online,” said Rodney Carr, vice president for student success at Valdosta State and director of the school’s new Online College for Career Advancement.

“[But] we learned that’s not always the case. Some of these courses, even a lab science, could be done online. We just had to figure out how.”

Carr said the degree programs that were chosen for the pilot tend to attract non-traditional college students, a group the project is targeting.

“We designed this around the person who’s returning to school,” he said. “It’s for non-traditional students who either haven’t started college because something got in the way after high school or who need a credential to advance their career.”
