eCore Program

eCore (Electronic core-curriculum) allows students the opportunity to complete their first two years of their collegiate careers in an online environment. eCore courses are taught entirely online, except for the occasional proctored exam. eCore courses are designed, developed, taught, and supported by faculty and staff from the University System of Georgia (USG). General information about eCore, Georgia's College Core-Curriculum Online, can be found at http://ecore.usg.edu/.

The following steps are required in order to register for eCore courses through Middle Georgia State University:

  • You must be a fully admitted student at Middle Georgia State University in order to take eCore classes and may not have CPC deficiencies or Learning Support requirements.
