UWG's New Degree Programs

University of West Georgia, or UWG, has a local campus located on Herring Road in Shenandoah Industrial Park. The Newnan campus offers five master's degrees along with a bachelor's of nursing degree. All these programs can be finished completed at the Newnan campus. Students never have to go to the main Carrollton campus.

West Georgia officials are discussing the addition of two new degrees. One is a bachelor of science in early childhood education. The second is a master of criminology degree.

In 1998, the Newnan campus served 198 students. It now serves 2,200 students who come from 30 counties in Georgia and Alabama.
