Academic Majors
Associate of Applied Science Degrees
West Georgia Technical College offers two-year associate degree programs in applied science (AAS).
These programs have been authorized by the State Board of Technical and Adult Education and are
accredited by the Commission on Colleges (COC). Students finishing Associate of Applied Science
degrees must complete the three-part Collegiate Assessment of Academic Proficiency (CAAP) during
the last quarter or the next to last quarter of their enrollment at West Georgia prior to graduation. The
CAAP tests mathematical reasoning, writing skills, and critical thinking skills. Those in Health Services
AAT degree programs (Dental Hygiene, Medical Laboratory Technology, Associate Degree Nursing, and
Radiologic Technology) will also be required to take the Science Reasoning portion of the CAAP. The
CAAP will be given multiple times during the seventh or eight weeks of fall and spring quarter to
accommodate all graduating students. Students should see their academic advisors for further
information.
Diploma Programs
West Georgia Technical College offers diploma programs in various occupational fields. The Technical
College System of Georgia governs these programs by standards that provide uniform requirements for
all technical institutes. Satisfactory completion of course work carries diploma credit. Diploma credit is
transferable to other technical colleges within the statewide system.
