The Cobb Education Consortium is not only a unique collaborative, but the members complement each other in a way that greatly benefits the citizens in the community. The two public school systems are very different (a huge county-wide system and a smaller city school system), yet each is well recognized for its high quality and student achievement.

The two technical colleges also complement each other, offering many different specialized programs at the certificate, diploma and associate degree levels. Some of these programs have regional and even national reputations for excellence. They produce graduates that are in great demand in the regional workforce.

The state universities each offer a great variety of degree and professional development programs through the advanced degree levels, while focusing on different specialty areas. Kennesaw State is a large comprehensive state university, while Southern Poly is a medium-sized specialized technological state university.

Few counties in the state or region provide the diversity of educational opportunities that the CEC does. In this one service area, students have access to public school educations of the highest quality, model open access community college career and transfer programs, and nationally recognized undergraduate and graduate university programs. A wide range of continuing and professional development programs also allows the community members to become true life-long learners.

Check into the links for each of the members to better understand why the CEC has been recognized as a model for providing truly "seamless" education of the highest quality from "cradle to grave." Whatever the educational objective, the Consortium offers relevant programs that are second in quality to none.
