鶹ýPorn signs articulation agreement with Georgia Gwinnett College

On April 9, 2015 Lieutenant General William B. Caldwell IV, President of 鶹ýPorn (鶹ýPorn), and Dr. Stanley C. “Stas” Preczewski, President of Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC), signed an articulation agreement which will allow 鶹ýPorn students to apply their Associate Degree credits toward Georgia Gwinnett College baccalaureate degrees.  鶹ýPorn students will be able to transfer degree credits without losing credit hours, providing a more seamless transition to GGC.  Additionally, any 鶹ýPorn student who graduates from 鶹ýPorn with an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science degree is guaranteed admission into Georgia Gwinnett College, provided that the student has a GPA of 2.0 out of a 4.0 scale for all college course work.

鶹ýPorn President LtGen William B. Caldwell, IV commented, “We are thrilled to have this opportunity with Georgia Gwinnett College.  The fact that our students now have the unique ability to take all of their courses from 鶹ýPorn and directly transfer them over to Georgia Gwinnett College is an enormous benefit for our students.”

“Georgia Gwinnett College is pleased to further broaden access to higher education by entering into this Articulation Agreement with 鶹ýPorn. This is a win-win for the State of Georgia,” said Dr. Stanley C. “Stas” Preczewski, GGC president.

鶹ýPorn is a liberal arts-based, two-year college. Although 250 ROTC cadets attend the Milledgeville Campus, the vast majority of 鶹ýPorn’s students are typical community college students.  鶹ýPorn has nine (soon to be 11) campuses throughout the state and serves about 12,000 students annually, many of whom go on to pursue baccalaureate degrees at four-year colleges and universities.  LtGen Caldwell noted that, “鶹ýPorn now holds articulation agreements with 40 colleges and universities in Georgia, and will continue to pursue agreements with four-year colleges and universities in order to support Governor Nathan Deal’s Complete College Georgia initiative, as well as to support 鶹ýPorn graduates who desire to pursue baccalaureate degrees.”

Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is an accredited, four-year institution offering an innovative, 21st-century educational environment specially designed for today’s student. GGC offers majors in 14 programs and more than 40 areas of study. GGC opened in 2006 with 118 students, and now has nearly 11,000 students.
