Governor Brian Kemp has announced new transfer agreements between the Technical College System of Georgia and Mercer University, creating smoother pathways for students to move from technical colleges into four-year degree programs while strengthening Georgia’s workforce.

Under the agreements, graduates from any of Georgia’s 22 technical colleges will be able to transfer into Mercer University’s Bachelor of Business Administration programs in Accounting, Business Technology, Human Resource Management, and Management. The agreements also establish a pathway for graduates of TCSG’s Associate of Science in Nursing programs to transition into Mercer’s RN-to-BSN program.

State and education leaders say the goal is to reduce credit loss, remove barriers to degree completion, and better connect students to high-demand career fields such as healthcare, technology, and business management, supporting Georgia’s continued economic growth.
