College of Coastal Georgia

The Golden Isles Development Authority (GIDA) and the College of Coastal Georgia (Coastal Georgia) are thrilled to announce a significant step forward in local entrepreneurship development.

Junior teacher candidates at the College of Coastal Georgia have been working together as co-teachers at Oglethorpe Point Elementary School on St. Simons Island. They gained first-hand experience in how to manage a classroom and meet the needs of different students.

The College of Coastal Georgia will be offering a Bachelor of Science in Accounting degree, beginning Fall 2022, from the School of Business and Public Management (SBPM).

At the age of 54, Tammy Fields graduated with her Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in general business from the College of Coastal Georgia in December 2020. It was a long journey to graduation day, but she made it, and she is paying it forward by establishing the Fields Non-Traditional Student Scholarship to help other non-traditional students who are just like her.

Fields was born in Charleston, South Carolina, and moved with her family to New York when she was five years old. Growing up, she set her heart on having a career in business and accounting.
