Frequently Asked QuestionsCan the program be completed online?The Child Development Specialist, TCC is available totally online. The diploma and degree programs require lab hours. Some courses require campus attendance and/or job site experience.Will these courses transfer to a university if I decide to complete a higher degree?Moultrie Tech is part of the Technical Colleges System of Georgia. We currently hold a different accreditation than the universities. We are in the process of
seeking a new accreditation so that their will be seamless transfer of courses. If your long term goal is a higher degree, one of the university system schools may be a better choice. However, our program provides an employable credential in less than 2 years. We can get you out there and get you working.
What is I have a criminal record? Can I still enroll? We do not deny enrollment to any student, however, you will not be able to complete the program (any courses which have lab hours) without submitting a
