Darton College - Darton College is a two-year unit of the University System of Georgia, located in Albany and surrounded by rural cotton, pecan and peanut farms.
Darton College prides itself on student success, as measured by its two-year graduates’ high pass rates on state licensing tests and their success after transferring to four-year institutions.
On the high-tech Darton College campus, students pursue seventy-three two-year transfer and career associate degrees. In addition Darton offers distance learning courses through local telecasts, web-based instruction, GSAMS video-conferencing, and at selected regional sites off the main campus.
Darton College’s allied health and nursing programs provide southwest Georgia with most of its health professionals - including seventy percent of all the nurses in Albany hospitals and thirty one percent of all registered nurses in the hospitals of thirty eight southwest Georgia counties.
More than half of the area’s high-school graduates choose Darton College, and about fifty-five percent of Darton College’s 2,500 students are under age twenty-four. Day students tend to be younger than the more non-traditional evening enrollees.
The 180-acre campus on Albany’s western edge includes a 470-seat theater, state-of-the-art library, fitness center, computer labs, and sports facilities such as tennis and racquetball courts, an indoor swimming pool, a nature trail and ball fields. A wide range of extracurricular activities at Darton College includes groups such as the Cultural Exchange Club, as well as intramural athletics, league tournament athletics, community service associations and honor societies.
All Darton College students are encouraged to participate in an array of Georgia Junior College Athletic Association/National Junior College Athletic Association intercollegiate athletics, including men’s and women’s tennis, golf and swimming, women’s softball and basketball, and men’s baseball.
The institution was founded as Albany Junior College in 1963 and offered its first classes in 1966. In 1987, a committee of faculty, staff, students and community members chose the name Darton College.
