Two more two-year colleges will offer a limited number of bachelor degrees, under action the State Board of Regents took this week.

South Georgia College will offer a bachelor of science in nursing and East Georgia College will offer a baccalaureate in biology.

Last month the regents allowed Darton, Atlanta Metropolitan, Georgia Highlands and Georgia Perimeter to offer some four-year degrees.

The University System of Georgia will now have 14 "state colleges." Only two traditional two-year colleges remain: Bainbridge and Waycross colleges.
