New year. New semester. More students.
That's how Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) is starting its spring semester. Enrollment increased 5% over the spring 2024 semester to 11,636 students. This is eighth consecutive semester that the college has seen growth.
"More residents in Gwinnett County and beyond are attracted to GGC for several reasons," said Dr. Jann L. Joseph, president. "When you offer bachelor's degrees that are designed to give students the knowledge and practical skills needed for a career, people take notice."
Joseph added that several GGC initiatives have contributed to the continued growth of the college, including instant decision days, the college's central location, low tuition rates and small class sizes.
"There's an added value when you offer students on-campus learning opportunities that extend to the surrounding community," said Joseph.
Joseph added that 76% of GGC's students are from Gwinnett County.
