GSW, Bainbridge College sign nursing agreement     

            Continuing collaboration--Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) and Bainbridge College (BC) expanded their cooperative relationship recently on the BC campus. Beginning Fall 2010, GSW will offer a Bachelor of Science in nursing at Bainbridge. Shown above, Georgia Southwestern President Kendall Blanchard, front right, and Bainbridge College President Tom Wilkerson sign a Memorandum of Understanding while BC Nursing Division Chair Sheree Dickenson, back left, and GSW Nursing Dean Sandra Daniel look on. This agreement marks the fifth GSW baccalaureate program offered on the Bainbridge campus. Currently, Southwestern offers a Bachelor of Business Administration in accounting, management and marketing, and a Bachelor of Science in computer information systems. A joint committee from BC and GSW meets each year to consider curriculum, recruitment and admission requirements, as well as student services, facilities, staffing, fees and transfer credits.
