Mission Statement

The associate of science degree in Consumer Economics is a transferable program of study developed in collaboration with the University of Georgia's College of Family and Consumer Sciences. The program includes TCSG general education courses that satisfy all University of Georgia core curriculum requirements, as well as Consumer Economics major courses that satisfy requirements toward UGA's bachelor of science in Family and Consumer Science. Graduates of the program receive the associate of science degree in Consumer Economics from Athens Technical College and, provided they meet the admissions requirements in effect at the time of application, may begin taking upperlevel coursework at UGA immediately upon transfer.
