Georgetown’s Provost, Dr. Jonathan Sands Wise, is excited about the possibilities for this program to serve a new group of students. “The Adult Online Program is an excellent opportunity for GC to find new ways to fulfill its mission of providing students a service-oriented, liberal arts education at any stage of life.”

Through this partnership, BCTC graduates who have earned an associate degree will be automatically admitted to Georgetown College with a simplified transfer of credits. Students will benefit from the same tuition rate they paid at BCTC during their first year at Georgetown College, making the transition both cost-effective and accessible.

Designed with working adults in mind, the Georgetown College Adult Online Program is offered 100% online with no campus visits required, giving students the flexibility to continue their education on their own schedules.

Students can pursue a bachelor’s degree in one of the following fields:

  • Business Administration
  • Elementary Education
  • Management
  • Integrated Studies (a flexible general studies degree open to all)

“This partnership is a powerful example of how institutions can work together to remove barriers to higher education,” said Dr. Greg Feeney, BCTC President/CEO. “By providing a clear and affordable path to a bachelor’s degree, we’re creating life-changing opportunities for our graduates and helping meet Kentucky’s workforce and community needs.”
