Bachelor of Science in Information Technology

Data science and analytics (DSA) is a data-driven program applying different fields, including mathematics, computing and domain knowledge. Graduates of the DSA concentration satisfy the growing need for jobs requiring skills in effective analysis of data-intensive problems, meaningful communications with technical and non-technical audiences through data visualization, implementing solutions using standard data analytics processes, and recommending data governance solutions that are secure, ethical and minimize risk.

GGC participates in the Regents' Engineering Pathway (REP), which makes engineering programs more accessible to students throughout Georgia.

Participation in REP saves students money in tuition, fees, housing and meals, while attending college closer to home for the first two years of study. GGC professors also work closely with program coordinators from participating institutions to align program curriculum needs. This coordination assures a seamless transfer to the engineering school of choice to complete your bachelor's degree.

REP Transfer Options

• Georgia Institute of Technology
• Georgia Southern University
• Kennesaw State University
• Mercer University
• University of Georgia

REP Requirements

• Satisfy all courses required for admission of regular transfer students to any of the participating institutions.
• Complete all required math and science, as well as some engineering courses, at GGC (Listed in Appendix A of the REP Agreement (PDF) on the USG website).
• Review REP information and the REP Agreement (PDF) on the USG website for more information.
  • University System of Georgia (USG) Regents' Engineering Pathway (REP)

Admission requirements, including GPA, vary at the partner institutions. Visit the institution's website to review requirements.
