The Regents’ Engineering Pathways (REP) program was originally established in 1986 as the Regents
Engineering Transfer Program (RETP) to expand the availability of engineering education opportunities
for Georgians for a select number of USG institutions. As of September 1, 2016, this program will be
known as The Regents’ Engineering Pathways (REP) program and will be open to all USG institutions. In
its current structure, students complete two or more years of engineering Pathways courses at
participating University System of Georgia institutions and then transfer to Georgia Institute of
Technology, Georgia Southern University, Kennesaw State University, Mercer University or the
University of Georgia to complete a B.S. degree in Engineering (REP program Engineering Institutions).
Mission Statement
To encourage and accommodate students who desire to study engineering, but who for various reasons
may prefer to attend another college before coming to an REP Engineering institution; this program
offers the opportunity to transfer to an REP Engineering institution through the Regents’ Engineering
Pathways. REP students enjoy many of the advantages of REP students: they have equal access to
engineering majors at REP, they can participate in the co-op program, and they are invited to the REP
Engineering institution campus once a year for campus tours, information sessions, and meetings with
advisors in their engineering majors.
Participating Institutions
The Regents’ Engineering Pathways (REP) is a cooperative program between [Engineering Program]
and participating REP Partner institutions within the University System of Georgia:
For the first two years, students in this program attend one of the REP Partner participating institutions,
where they take all of the mathematics and science and many of the engineering courses required in the
first two years of the REP Engineering institution’s engineering curricula. Upon successful completion of
the REP requirements at the REP Partner institution, students are admitted to the REP Engineering
Institution to work toward completion of a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree. The curriculum
will be specific in the appendices for each Engineering Program.
Admission Requirements REP Programs
** The information below is a curriculum roadmap.
Following this curriculum does not guarantee admissions into Georgia Tech or UGA. Additionally, the
student must meet application and transfer deadlines outlined by the REP institution.
Georgia Institute of Technology
Upon successful completion of mathematics, science, and engineering course requirements at a
participating REP Partner institution, students may be admitted to Georgia Tech to complete an
Engineering bachelor's degree.

Students must complete 30 credit hours at an REP partnering institution prior to transferring to
Georgia Tech. These 30 hours must include courses that are part of the GT course requirements
for transfer and must be completed post high school graduation.
No more than one math or lab science course requirement may be in progress at the document
deadline (spring and summer term applicants only).
Students not enrolled within their REP institution for more than two consecutive semester must
re-enroll for a minimum of one semester prior to their REP application to Georgia Tech.
Details about the admission requirements for specific majors can be found on the Georgia Tech College
of Engineering website.

Students must apply for admission to Georgia Southern during the application filing period for the
semester in which they wish to transfer. They must satisfy general admission requirements for
Georgia Southern, including being in good standing at present institution at the time of transfer.
Students must complete a minimum of 30 semester credit hours from the list of approved transfer
courses (see Appendix B as an example) with grades of at least a “C” and a minimum cumulative
GPA of 2.5 in those courses at the time of transfer. The REP Coordinator at each USG institution
will meet with the CEIT’s Director of Transfer and Co-op Programs to agree upon a set of approved
courses specific to that institution.
Students must have a cumulative GPA, math GPA, science GPA and engineering GPA of at least
2.5 at the time of transfer
Other general education core curriculum transfer credits will be accepted based on the transfer rules
established by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia.
