West Georgia Technical College now offers more online courses through a new platform called “eCampus.”  The eCampus platform allows students from across Georgia to enroll in online courses offered by any Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) college, providing students access to programs that may not be available at their home college. Upon completion of the eCampus course, students will earn credit at their home college.

eCampus is an online platform that allows colleges to leverage instructional capacity for increased access to programs regardless of student location. It is comprised of technological advancements targeted at supporting the overall mission to improve the student experience from enrollment through graduation leading to positive workforce development. Since its inception is the summer of 2021, hundreds of students have gained access to online courses through this shared resource model with participation only expected to grow.

The program/course offerings available via eCampus are:
