As a part of Herzing University’s DEGREE UP initiative, Georgia Piedmont Technical College (GPTC) students who earn an associate degree with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or greater are eligible for admission to Herzing University to pursue a four-year degree. The purpose of this agreement is to provide GPTC graduates with the opportunity to maximize the amount of transfer of credits received at GPTC. The Degree Up initiative also provides a flexible scheduling option that will allow GPTC students to complete four-year degree requirements at Georgia Piedmont when available at GPTC’s tuition rate.
