Walters State Community College is offering the general studies degree through its popular College Express Program this fall. College Express meets one or two nights a week, with students completing a degree in two years just as full-time students do.

“College Express is a great way to get the first two years of a college degree completed,” said Matthew Hunter, dean of distance education at Walters State.

“This general studies cohort is designed for students who want to go on to a four-year college or university and complete a bachelor’s degree. Students will complete all or most the general education courses required for almost any major,” Hunter said.

This also a good choice for students who have not decided on a four-year degree plan, and for students are already established in careers and want or need a degree to advance. Many area four-year universities offer similar programs, enabling students to earn a bachelor’s degree in four years, instead of six or more if attending part-time.

College Express will also be offered for clean energy technology majors and pre-allied health majors. The latter is designed for students who want to enter Walters State’s nursing, respiratory care, physical therapist assistant and surgical technologists programs.
