Any other satellite campuses for the partner institutions are
unaffected.  Only the Lawrenceville campus is under going this change.
(GPC Dunwoody, Clarkston, Decatur, Rockdale/Newton will continue
operating as normal).

The facilities in place at Lawrenceville will become the facilities
for the new college.  At this time, only three Bachelor's degree
programs are offered: Business, Biology, and Psychology.  We are
expecting to offer programs in Education and Nursing in the near
future.  More will be coming, I am sure.

The coursework ought to be equivalent to the programs in place.

Well, any of the institutions will be happy to have you, whichever one
fits your needs best.
