The College of Coastal Georgia’s Camden Center offers quality higher education in Camden County.
“The Camden Center – close to home and affordable.”
The Camden Center is an off-campus instructional site of the College of Coastal Georgia, located just a few miles north of the Florida border, in Kingsland. The site provides a regular schedule of day, evening, and online classes for the convenience of students from Camden, Charlton, Brantley, and Nassau, Florida counties, who attend the College.
Classes span the core courses for business, education, the humanities and social sciences, math, natural sciences and health sciences.
The College of Coastal Georgia began offering classes in Camden County in 1983, initially on the Kings Bay military base. The 101,000 square-foot Camden Center opened in May 2004, featuring a beautiful rotunda, a 270-seat auditorium, classrooms, chemistry and biology laboratories, full-service library/learning center, a teaching kitchen, and demonstration dining room.
The Camden Center provides personal service to help all students start or continue their college career, especially those affiliated with the military, new freshmen – first generation students, as well as transfers, dual enrollment, and adult learners.
The Camden Center has a veteran’s lounge located on the first floor of the north wing. It is open to all active duty, veterans, and military family members attending Coastal Georgia. The lounge is a place to relax between classes, get a free snack or drink, and socialize with other military-affiliated students. Feel free to make use of this facility while you are attending classes at Coastal Georgia.
We strive to engage all veterans in programs and activities that will enhance their college experience and all aspects of their educational goals. We commit ourselves to helping veterans build a solid foundation for their futures through a veteran-friendly environment.

B.S. in Biology with Minor in Geology, Georgia College and State University
Teaching and Research Interests / Recent Publications or Scholarly Output As a biology professor, Clark’s main experience is in the education of students in areas of science concentration, though he has also developed and taught courses for students in areas of non-science concentration. He is familiar with teaching in a traditional classroom, in the field, and in a laboratory setting. Clark has served his institution by sitting on several college and departmental committees, and also by developing curriculum for new biology courses. While teaching, he has also been engaged in advising undergraduate research, primarily related to that of a paleontological nature.
