It is one of 26 institutions in the University System of Georgia. Founded in 1963 as a junior college, the college became a four-year institution in 1998. Dalton State is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools[6] (SACS). HistoryThe college was founded as Dalton Junior College in July 1963 and opened in September 1967 offering programs designed to provide the first two years of college work for students preparing to transfer to four-year degree granting institutions. The addition of a technical division in 1976 enabled the school to serve students wishing to develop work skills at the certificate or associate degree level. In 1987, the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia removed the word "Junior" from the college's name and it became Dalton College. In 1998, the University System of Georgia changed the college's name to Dalton State College and upgraded it to four-year status. Dalton State began offering its first bachelor's programs that year, all in business and technology. In 2009, Dalton State opened an extended campus in Ellijay called the Dalton State Gilmer County Center and had over 200 students enrolled for the spring semester. Dalton State also opened its first on-campus residential housing, Dalton State at Wood Valley. Today, Dalton State College offers baccalaureate degrees in accounting, biology, chemistry, communication,criminal justice, early childhood education, English, history, interdisciplinary studies, management, management information systems, marketing systems, mathematics, operations management, psychology, social work, and technology management. The college also offers 22 associate degree and several certificate programs. AcademicsDalton State College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Early Childhood Education program is accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).[7] The Social Work program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).[8] The Business Administration programs received initial accreditation by Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in January 2010.[9] CampusThe Dalton State College main campus consists of {{convert|146|acre|km2}} on I-75 in Whitfield County, Georgia, 30 miles south of Chattanooga and 80 miles north of Atlanta. An additional campus exists in Ellijay, Georgia, southeast of the main campus. DemographicsThe almost 5,000 traditional and non-traditional students are from a 10-county service area of Northwest Georgia in addition to 38 foreign countries. The average student age is 24; females make up 62 percent of the student population. On-campus housing has been offered since fall 2009.[10] NicknameThe Dalton State mascot is the roadrunner. When the college became a four-year college, all students commuted to school due to the fact that Dalton State did not offer on campus housing. This led to the nickname of the Roadrunners.{{Citation needed|date=March 2019}} AthleticsThe Dalton State Athletics program, known as the Roadrunners, began in 2012 and is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA).[11] It consists of men's and women's golf, women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, women's track and field, and men's basketball. The men's basketball team won the NAIA National Championship in 2015.[12] The athletics program was reorganized in 2017 in order to bring the program into compliance with Title IX requirements and to reduce costs. As part of the reorganization, volleyball, men's cross country, and men's and women's tennis were dropped from the program and women's track and field was added.[13] Student lifeThe Campus Activities Board (CAB) is a student-run organization that strives to enhance the Dalton State College student experience through quality entertainment, creative programming and community involvement. Its stated goal is to strengthen the missions of both the Office of Student Life and Dalton State College by providing a variety of social, recreational, cultural and educational programs. Through the expertise of an appointed student executive board, CAB works to ensure leadership development, networking with the college community, building campus traditions and school spirit.
