What Community Colleges in Georgia Have Open Enrollment?

Open enrollment, also called open admissions, means that a college only requires a high school diploma or equivalent GED certificate for admission. Open-enrollment policies at community colleges make it possible for students to earn a specialized trade diploma and certificate program, as well as two-year associate degree. Students can also fulfill core academic requirements for a bachelor's degree. Many Georgia four-year universities accept credits earned at a community college.
