Students are required to have 60 hours or their Associates degree and the minimum GPA listed by their university, and they are guaranteed admission. There are 23 schools in the agreement and 14 participated in a fair at the Dunwoody Campus on Tuesday, February 18^th. Schools represented in the program were Agnes Scott College, Armstrong Atlantic State University, Clark Atlanta University, Clayton State University, Georgia Gwinnett College, Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Southern University, Georgia Southwestern State University, Mercer University, Oglethorpe University, Strayer University, University of Alabama-Huntsville, University of Georgia at Griffin, and University of West Georgia. The Universities required a GPA ranging from 2.5-2.8. Georgia Tech’s requirement was a 2.7. According to Denise Rixter, a TAG recruitment officer, more TAG fairs will be offered in the fall.
