As part of our ASPIRE Top Five Strategies, Dalton State College is working with Georgia Highlands College (GHC) and Georgia Northwestern Technical College (GNTC) to create pathways for GNTC graduates to receive degrees at DSC and GHC using courses completed at GNTC.

Research situation for English language learners (ELLs) in ENGL 1101 through the administration of surveys to students.

The Quality Enhancement Plan seeks continuous improvement relative to two Student Learning Outcomes:

The mission of Dalton State College is to provide a diverse student population with opportunities to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to attain affordable baccalaureate degrees, associate degrees and certificates and to reach their personal and professional goals. Through challenging academics and rich collegiate experiences, the College promotes lifelong learning, active leadership and positive contributions in Northwest Georgia and beyond.
Dalton State is consistently engaged in valuable student success work. During the 2022-2023 academic year, the Office of Academic Affairs worked with Advising, the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL), and the Library to hold workshops for each department called Student Success Symposiums. The symposiums reminded faculty of resources available to faculty and students through Advising, CETL, and the Library.
