the bachelor of science in early childhood education, College
officials predicted a charter class enrollment of about 50. Macon
State was so inundated with applications that 65 students ready to
begin upper-division coursework this fall were accepted. The degree
program the will help produce new teaching talent for Central
Georgia schools is off to a strong start.
