Meet Our Faculty
Georgia Gwinnett College recruits faculty who share our commitment to student success. Most of our 500+ faculty have earned doctorates or other terminal degrees. All of them have a passion for teaching.
As a student, you'll quickly experience the difference this makes. When they are not in class, our faculty are often tutoring, texting or talking with their students.
Below are some of the faculty who make GGC shine. They are not the only ones. In each of our schools - Business, Education, Liberal Arts, and Science & Technology - you'll find faculty ready to help you succeed.
