Dalton State College

From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

Dalton State College, also referred to as DSC or Dalton State, is one of eight state colleges in the University System of Georgia; it is also one of four University System units with a Technical Division supervised by the separate Technical College System of Georgia. The college is located in Dalton, Georgia.

The college was founded as Dalton Junior College in July 1963 and opened in September 1967 offering programs designed to provide the first two years of college work for students preparing to transfer to four-year degree granting institutions. The addition of a vocational and technical division in 1976 made the school a comprehensive community college, able to serve nontransfer students wishing to develop work skills at the certificate or associate-degree level. In 1987, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia removed the word "Junior" from the college's name so that it became Dalton College. The University System changed the name to Dalton State College in 1998 and authorized the development of the college's first baccalaureate degree programs, all in business and technology. In 2000, a baccalaureate program in social work was authorized, designed with special emphasis on serving the fast-growing Hispanic population of northwest Georgia.

Dalton State College now offers, in addition to certificate and associate-degree programs,

  • the Bachelor of Applied Science in Technology Management,
  • the Bachelor of Business Administration (with majors in Accounting, Industrial Operations Management, Management, Management Information Systems, and Marketing Systems),
  • the Bachelor of Science in Biology (with Teacher Certification available),
  • the Bachelor of Science in Education with a major in Early Childhood Education,
  • the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (with Teacher Certification available), and
  • the Bachelor of Social Work.
