Academic Committee: Engineering Pathways
(Last Modified September 20, 2025)

« Advisory Committees

The Regents’ Engineering Pathway (REP) Program was established in 1986 to expand the availability of engineering education opportunities for qualified students enrolled in University System of Georgia institutions across the state.  In its current structure, students complete 30 or more credit hours of engineering pathway courses at University System of Georgia (REP Partner) institutions and then transfer to the 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 Engineering Institutions). This program supersedes the former Regents Engineering Transfer Program and does not require USG institutions to sign MOUs to participate.

For further information about this committee, please contact Dr. Melanie Largin, Assistant Vice Chancellor of General Education and Student Pathways at the University System of Georgia Atlanta Office - melanie.largin@usg.edu
