Shorter College is committed to providing quality accelerated
degree programs to working adult students. The curriculum,
instruction and administration of the programs are designed to
interrelate theories and research with practical application.
Life-long learning is emphasized and taught throughout the
curricula. Three locations in metro Atlanta, in addition to
Shorter's main campus in Rome, provide educational opportunities
to geographically distant individuals.
Professional Studies degree programs target goal-oriented
individuals who seek personal and professional growth. Programs
have been customized for individuals with little previous college
experience and for those with extensive educational backgrounds.
