HISTORY
In 1994, Gwinnett County was the largest county east of the
Mississippi without a four-year college. So Gwinnett County
leaders purchased 160 acres of land and designated it specifically
for the development of a college campus. GGC opened its doors
in 2006 as the first four-year college founded in Georgia in more
than 100 years, and the nation’s first four-year, public college of
the 21st century.
STUDENTS
Already, about 11,000 students representing a diverse array of
cultures and countries call themselves Grizzlies. The student body
is almost perfectly balanced: 55 percent female and 45 percent
male. Many students work part- or even full-time, thanks to our
flexible schedule.
GGC is a four-year degree-granting unit of the University System of Georgia.

COLLEGE
STUDENT LIFE
There are more than 100 clubs and organizations and eight
intramural programs to choose from – indoor flag football,
dodgeball, sand volleyball, racquetball, tennis, basketball, indoor
soccer, golf and tennis. The best part is this – if you don’t see one
you like, you can create your own. We’re also excited about our
intercollegiate athletics program, which has already won regional
and national championships. Go Grizzlies!
AFFORDABILITY
In-state tuition is currently about $128 per credit, and full in-state
tuition is capped at less than $1,922 per semester. In addition to
the HOPE Scholarship, students can qualify for federal financial
aid, including the Pell Grant and the Stafford Loan, among others.
GGC’s Office of Financial Aid will be glad to help you find
funding. The way we see it, cost should never be a factor in
getting a great education.

Georgia Gwinnett College was designed and built around
YOU, the student. Small class sizes and engaged professors
provide a private college experience at a public college
price. Cutting-edge facilities, engaging student programs
and a global curriculum were made all for you.
That’s our average class size. You, plus
22 other students working and learning
together. You won’t find huge lecture halls
on campus, and professors (who also act
as mentors) will know you by name. Have
a question out of class? Need one-on-one
help? Just TEXT your professor, who will
text you back. Simple. Innovative. Different.
How many other colleges promise that?
SAY HELLO TO THE
SUITE LIFE
STUDENT SUCCESS
LIVES HERE
We love it when students succeed. So
much so, that we’ve established our
own, unique dedication to providing
you help whenever you need it. Free
tutoring, mentors, honors programs and a
residential learning experience are just a
sample of what we have to offer.
SIMPLY A BETTER
VALUE
High tuition and the prospect of
outrageous student loan debt shouldn’t
stand in your way of getting a college
degree. That’s why we keep costs down
and standards high. You simply can’t beat
GGC’s price tag. Find out how affordable
college can be at www.ggc.edu/tuition.
GGC’s suite-style living offers chic,
apartment-like housing in on-campus
residence halls.
• Private bedrooms and vanities
• One full bathroom for every two students
• Fully equipped kitchenettes, furnished
living rooms with flat-screen TVs
• On-site laundry … with equipment that
will text you when your clothes are done
• Walk to class
• On-site, 24-hour security and housing
