The College of Coastal Georgia (also known as CCG) is a public college located in historic downtown Brunswick, Georgia, United States. The College was established in 1961 and opened in 1964, making it one of Georgia's newest state colleges. The college is currently transitioning from a two-year community college into a four-year comprehensive institution and conferred its first baccalaureate degrees on May 7, 2011. The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia established the college, originally known as Brunswick College, in 1961 with Brunswick and Glynn County citizens providing a $1 million bond issue for construction of buildings and purchase of land. The college opened in 1964 and shortly after changed its name to Brunswick Junior College in 1965. The college continued expanding the academic facilities on the college's 193-acre (0.78 km) campus through the late 1960s and 1970s. In 1972 the college added technical programs in addition to the traditional junior college programs and offered both associate programs in higher education and postsecondary technical and adult programs until 2008.
