ATLANTA - Georgia Perimeter College this fall will begin offering bachelor's degrees that are designed for students to earn in three years.
College President Anthony Tricoli bills it as the state's first three-year bachelor's of arts degree program.
The degrees will be in accounting and business management and will involve a partnership between Georgia Perimeter, a two-year college with campuses throughout metro Atlanta, and Georgia Southwestern State University, a four-year college in Americus.
Tricoli says students in Georgia Perimeter's program would take more than the typical 12 to 15 credit hours a semester. They would spend a year and a half with Georgia Perimeter, then finish the program through Georgia Southwestern.
