Program Goals
The Pre-professional and Graduate School Planning Program within the Career Center was created to provide students with a centralized resource for information and guidance on the graduate and professional school application process. This purpose is achieved through strong collaboration with faculty, academic advisors, campus partners, and graduate and professional school program representatives. Our program at Georgia College
