Southern Adventist University and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) have developed an academic and educational partnership for GNTC students to enroll in the online Adult Degree Completion (ADC) program at Southern.

“We are thrilled to provide this opportunity to students at GNTC, equipping them to thrive in a fluid job market,” said Ken Shaw, Ed.D., Southern’s president. “This partnership creates a smooth pathway for entering our online Adult Degree Completion program, allowing students to seamlessly pursue their educational goals.”

The five-year agreement, which went into effect March 1, 2025, allows GNTC students who have not previously completed a four-year program to earn a bachelor’s degree online through Southern’s ADC program, which is specifically designed to be fully online with flexible learning options for working adults. Additionally, students may earn college credit based on prior work and learning experience, based on an assessment; and, recent associate degree graduates from GNTC are eligible for a 10% discount if they meet the program’s admission requirements.

“Southern Adventist University’s fully online Adult Degree Completion program is designed to give adult learners the opportunity to achieve their goals by completing their degree, enabling them to secure better-paying jobs and provide a better life for their families. We are excited to partner with GNTC in this endeavor,” said Cynthia Wright, director of the Adult Degree Completion program.
