The University of North Georgia is offering new bachelor’s degree programs for the new school year at its Gainesville campus. The university, which starts classes today across its four campuses, has more than doubled the bachelor’s degree offerings on the campus since last fall, increasing from eight to 20. The change, said UNG Provost Patricia Donat, is the result of the merger between Gainesville State College and North Georgia College & State University in Dahlonega that formed UNG in 2013.
