CAMDEN CENTER
INTRODUCTION The Camden Center opened in January 1993 in the building formerly occupied by the Kingsland Elementary School. Seventy-five acres of land were donated for the Center by Sondra and Celso Gonzalez-Falla in 1996 and the current 90,000 square foot facility was dedicated in May 2004. The Center was designed and built when the College was designated as a community college offering both associate degrees for transfer as well as technical education programs leading towards certificates and associate degrees. When the College became a state college in 2008, the technical education programs were transferred to Altamaha Technical College. As part of that transition, the College provides classroom, laboratory and office space to Altamaha in order to allow the institution to continue offering some technical education programs to residents of Camden County.
ACADEMICS Various undergraduate courses are offered both during the day and in the evening throughout the week at the Camden Center. In fall 2015, over 400 students took at least one course at the Camden Center. During fall 2015, 10 full-time faculty members were assigned to the Camden Center. In addition, some full-time faculty members assigned to the Brunswick campus teach one or more courses at the Center along with part-time faculty. Faculty members who teach at the Center schedule office hours on-site to assist students and to provide academic advisement Additionally, a full-time Laboratory Coordinator is assigned to the Center to support lab course offerings and an Academic Advisor from the Academic Advising Center visits the Camden Center during high needs times, i.e., new student orientation and early registration.

FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT ENROLLMENT (FTE)
FTE enrollment is the conversion of the number of all students enrolled full-time and part-time into an equivalent number of full-time students. To calculate FTE, each full-time student (where full-time is defined as enrolled in 12 or more hours) is counted as 1, the remaining hours (taken by students enrolled part-time) are divided by 12. FTE is the addition of both numbers.

GENERAL EDUCATION
The College of Coastal Georgia (CCGA) adheres to the new guidelines and policies set forth by the USG regarding core curriculum courses required for all students. In brief, six areas (A-F) are designated in which each student must take a requisite number of hours to graduate or transfer from CCGA. The rationale for the areas encompasses a broad academic base on which to build major specific courses. Every USG Institution is required to have a core curriculum of precisely 42 semester hours and an Area F of precisely 18 hours.
