Transfer Admission

Atlanta Bridge Program

The Atlanta Bridge Program, a partnership between Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Atlanta Metropolitan State College (AMSC), provides a cohort-based transfer opportunity for academically talented students to earn a Georgia Tech degree.

Program Details

A cohort of 40-50 students will be selected to participate in the Atlanta Bridge Program. Students begin their studies at AMSC in the Fall 2025 semester and will complete the required coursework to transfer to Georgia Tech within four (4) academic semesters. After successful completion of coursework, including a Georgia Tech seminar course, students will transfer to Georgia Tech to complete their four-year degree.

During their time at AMSC, students will receive academic advising and support from both institutions. Co-curricular programming, including networking, mentoring, and cohort building activities will be provided on each college campus to enhance individual and group success.

Program Eligibility

Students will be selected based both on proven academic success in high school and potential for completing a Georgia Tech degree.

  1. Complete the required high school curriculum of the University System of Georgia. (4 English, 4 Math, 4 Science, 3 Social Science, 2 Foreign Language/CS/ASL)

  2. Complete high school with a 3.0 GPA or higher.

  3. Be prepared to enter Pre-Calculus or Calculus I at Atlanta Metro.
