The Atlanta Bridge Program continues to grow, hosting its second cohort of Atlanta Metropolitan State College students at Georgia Tech to celebrate the beginning of their transfer journeys.

Benefitting from a partnership that creates a clear pathway to Tech, this newest group of students gets access to both institutions as they prepare to transfer. They're also joining a program that has already demonstrated meaningful results: 100% of students from the inaugural cohort who applied to transfer to Georgia Tech were admitted for Fall 2026. 🎉

As this new cohort gets underway, they carry that momentum forward — supported by advisors, faculty, and peers across both campuses, and inspired by those who have already navigated the bridge ahead of them.
