Georgia Gwinnett College to offer first fully online degree

Information technology (IT) was not Le Quang "Greatzel" Unabia’s first choice of study when she entered Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC).

But after one semester, she decided to try another major. She landed in IT with a concentration in software development.
