Georgia Universities Mergers to Take Effect in January - Associated Press

Mergers affecting four of Georgia’s public universities will take effect in January. At the start of next year, Armstrong State University in Savannah will merge with Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. Both campuses will remain open under the Georgia Southern name with a combined enrollment of roughly 27,000 students. At the same time, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College in Tifton is consolidating with Bainbridge State College. They will both use the name Abraham Baldwin and have about 6,000 students total. The state Board of Regents gave final approval to the mergers Tuesday after nearly a year of preparation work. http://diverseeducation.com/article/107219/
