Georgia Southern Welcomes 1,500 New Alumni
Last month, more than 1,500 students earned their degrees from Georgia Southern during three ceremonies held indoors at Hanner Fieldhouse.
Highlights from the ceremonies included the first degree awarded from the Georgia Southern engineering program which began last fall. Georgia Southern began offering engineering degrees in civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering in fall 2011 becoming one of the nation’s newest engineering schools. In addition, Georgia Southern presented its first ever Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree (Psy.D.). The program trains students to become generalists who practice psychotherapy and psychological assessment.
