Newnan Center
The Board of Regents approved and established a West Georgia off-campus center in Newnan, Georgia, in August of 1988. The University began offering courses in the Georgia Power Company's Shenandoah Center in 1990. In 1998 Coweta County purchased the Shenandoah Center from Georgia Power as a permanent location for the University's exclusive use. In 2009 the Shenandoah Center was presented as a gift from Coweta County to the Board of Regents and UWG. The UWG Newnan Center is located off Amlajack Boulevard in the Shenandoah Industrial Park.
In addition to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and the Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood Education, UWG offers undergraduate courses in the University's Core Curriculum at the Newnan Center. Coweta County students account for 40% of the Center's enrolment, while 60% represent more than 50 other Georgia counties. More than 75% of Newnan Center students are undergraduates. Through the ACCEL program, high-performing high school juniors and seniors are encouraged to "Go West Early" and enroll in core classes at the Newnan Center while still in high school.
UWG also offers a number of graduate degrees in Newnan: complete Master of Business Administration, Master of Education Degrees in Early Childhood Education, Secondary Education and Special Education, and the Ed.S. in Educational Leadership.
