Middle Georgia Technical College is a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) and provides education services for a four-county service area in middle Georgia. The school's service area includes Houston, Peach, Pulaski, and Dooly counties. MGTC is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award Associate Degrees, Diplomas, and Technical Certificates of Credit. Many of the school's individual technical programs are also accredited by their respective accreditation organizations.
On September 26, 2012, the State Board of the TCSG voted to merge Middle Georgia Technical College with the Macon-based Central Georgia Technical College in order to cut costs. The new college, the name of which is yet to be decided, will cover 11 counties in the Central Georgia region with multiple campuses (CGTC services students in Baldwin, Bibb, Crawford, Jones, Monroe, Putnam, and Twiggs counties), a region larger than the U.S. state of Delaware. Classes under the new college will commence after July 1, 2013.

“Woman is the future of man. That means that the world which was once formed in man’s image will now be transformed to the image of woman. The more technical and mechanical, cold and metallic it becomes, the more it will need the kind of warmth that only the woman can give it. If we want to save the world, we must adapt to the woman, let ourselves be led by the woman, let ourselves be penetrated by the Ewigweiblich, the eternally feminine!”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“[B]y going to the College [William and Mary] I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek and Latin as well there as here, and likewise learn something of the Mathematics.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
