The College
For more than 25 years Bainbridge College has provided higher education
to the residents of southwest Georgia. The College is among the fastest
growing in Georgia, enjoying a 34 percent increase in enrollment in the
Fall Semester 2001. The College continues to expand on its commitment
to effective teaching and community enhancement. It has provided
leadership for community, school, and civic activities and gained a
reputation for academic excellence.
The System
As one of 15 two-year colleges and 19 senior colleges and universities
comprising the University System of
Georgia, Bainbridge College fulfills a goal of the Board of Regents
to increase the availability of higher education to citizens throughout
the state. Bainbridge College takes pride in its integrated approach to
education. The College offers associate of arts and applied science
degrees, certificates in business and technical fields, noncredit
continuing education courses, cooperative degree programs with Thomas
Technical Institute and Albany Technical Institute and off-campus
offerings through Valdosta State University and Albany State University.
The Community
BC's campus is located on 173 acres of land just inside the
city limits on U.S. Highway 84 East. Its physical environment is one of
rustic beauty, accentuated by stately pine and moss-draped oak trees. A
lake adjoins the campus and further enhances the natural environment and
beauty.
The College is a community institution with no on-campus
residence facilities. Students commute from the nearby towns of
Attapulgus, Blakely, Brinson, Camilla, Cairo, Climax, Colquitt,
Donalsonville, Iron City, Pelham, Thomasville, and Whigham. With the
inclusion of Gadsden County to the College's service area, students from
neighboring Florida communities also attend the College as in-state
students.
Bainbridge College is accredited by the Commission on
Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (1866
