SCHOOL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Challenging you to think outside the box – and outside the lab.
About the School of Science and Technology
The School of Science and Technology (SST) provides innovative programs in science, math and technology.
No matter what your major, you'll be challenged to demonstrate mastery of your chosen field through faculty-mentored research projects, internships or service learning. It's a requirement.
But it's also led to fascinating learning opportunities.
Past projects have focused on such topics as air quality, the environmental impact of kudzu and the development of web-based animation as a teaching tool.

Health Care and Engineering Articulation Agreements
Continuing your education after GGC? Articulation agreements extend to opportunities to earn associates, master’s and doctorate degrees from other institutions.
Gain a competitive advantage with course choices, mentoring and research opportunities that start during your GGC freshman year, and could lead to admission for additional degrees at other institutions.
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.
GGC has developed an agreement with the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) to offer eligible students early interview and admissions consideration.
