UWG|Online: What is eCore?

 

At the University of West Georgia, students can pursue their educational goals though online classes offered though both UWG|Online and eCore. But what is eCore and how does it differ from UWG|Online?

eCore - short for electronic core-curriculum - allows University System of Georgia (USG) students the opportunity to complete or supplement the first two years of their collegiate careers in an online environment. eCore is a convenient and adaptable option for either getting started in college or for resuming college after a break or pause.

eCore offers courses in English, mathematics, science, history, and the social sciences. Courses are designed, developed, taught and supported by faculty and staff from the USG and are taught entirely online, except for one, but no more than two, proctored exams.

The main difference between eCore and UWG|Online is that eCore is not a formal degree program, but rather offers classes related to core curriculum. The core curriculum primarily consists of courses required during the first two years of college for a given degree.

Students at UWG can enjoy the benefits of both eCore and UWG|Online and how the two work together to allow them to obtain their degrees.
