UGA degree programs expand this fall at Gwinnett University Center

The university will expand its offerings at the Gwinnett University Center in Lawrenceville with the addition of three new bachelor’s degree programs in fall 2003. The programs include an interdisciplinary studies degree with an emphasis in social sciences offered through UGA’s Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, and teacher certification programs in science education and special education offered through UGA’s College of Education.
In fall 2002, UGA initiated bachelor’s degree programs in business, science and education at the Gwinnett University Center, in addition to the master’s degree programs and continuing education courses the university has been offering in Gwinnett since the mid-1980s.
“With the addition of these new programs, UGA continues to expand the range of higher education opportunities in this highly populous area,” says Bob Boehmer, UGA’s senior administrator for the Gwinnett programs.
UGA’s undergraduate programs in Gwinnett are open to transfer students, as well as to students who already hold a bachelor’s degree and are seeking a second. Transfer students must have completed at least 60 hours of transferable course work at other institutions and earned at least a 2.50 GPA.
The standards for admission to UGA’s undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Gwinnett are on par with the standards at UGA’s main campus in Athens. Those interested in pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree must meet the criteria for admission into the specific degree program they have chosen. The degree earned is a University of Georgia degree, though the coursework is delivered in a setting other than Athens.
Lori Jordan, who staffs the UGA undergraduate admissions office at the Gwinnett University Center, will hold information sessions for prospective students in February and March.
