CHOICE Program for Inclusive Learning

East Georgia State College is a member of the University System of Georgia, gaining State College status in 2012, and now offers a  2 year non-degree inclusive college program. This program is designed to provide students, who may be traditionally excluded from post-secondary education, the opportunity to participate in college classes and develop work-readiness employment skills.  East Georgia State College staff and faculty strive to help students succeed by approaching Education with a Personal Touch. The staff of the CHOICE Program for Inclusive Learning, embraces this approach and strives to provide participants with a rewarding college experience filled with student activities and small classes with faculty who are dedicated to teaching and preparing them for whatever challenges they wish to pursue beyond the CHOICE experience. The CHOICE program provides instruction in the following areas: Career Development and Employment, Academic Enrichment, Campus and Community Engagement, Self-Determination, and independent living. The CHOICE Program staff creates a unique and customized plan for achievement using a person-centered planning approach. Student participants audit traditional courses and complete specialized CHOICE courses, and participate in job shadowing/internships experiences on and off campus to support career exploration and development of employment skills. In addition to the academic program, CHOICE participants have access to the Jean Anderson Morgan Student Activities Center, recreation and exercise activities, sporting and entertainment events, and student clubs and organizations. Upon successful completion of the program requirements, participants are eligible for the CHOICE Certificate of Career Development.
