As a result of being named a "University Center" of the University System of Georgia, Gainesville State College enters into formal agreements with four-year colleges to offer more opportunities for students to stay in the area and receive a  reasonably priced, high quality, education.

Area students wishing to complete a four-year degree are able to take courses offered by other colleges on the Gainesville State College campus. Many students  have been able to complete a four-year degree without having to move or engage  in a long commute.

As the University Center develops, attention will be given to increasing the number of undergraduate and graduate programs offered through the University Center.  At present, North Georgia College & State University is the lead four-year institution offering courses and degrees through the University Center.

Those interested in applying to programs offered through the University Center must apply to and be accepted by the appropriate college or university.  Application material  and catalogs for all programs are available through the University Center or on-line.

Students who enroll in programs through the University Center may be eligible for state and federal financial aid.  Aid is awarded by the institution in which the student is enrolled, not by Gainesville State College. 

Students taking classes through the University Center, whether full or part-time, will have  full access to all facilities and services at Gainesville State College as well as at the home institution.
