The Decatur campus, established in 1964, operates as part of a multi-campus system that includes five locations across metro Atlanta. The institution offers more than 30 academic pathways focused on associate degree programs, with notable concentrations in business administration, health sciences, and computer science. The Decatur location features modern classroom buildings, science laboratories, and a learning commons, while providing students access to Georgia State University's broader academic resources and transfer pathways.
