Spring enrollment at Georgia Gwinnett College (GGC) continues its upward momentum, marking the 10th consecutive semester of growth. Preliminary figures for the spring semester reached 11,737 students, with nearly 86% enrolled full time.

“Typically, more than 60% of a college’s student body attends full time, so we’re especially pleased to see such a high percentage of students fully committed to pursuing their degrees,” said Kimberly Jordan, vice president for enrollment management. “Many of our students are not only taking classes full time but are also balancing work and family responsibilities.”

The spring semester also brought increases in the number of first-generation students and students eligible for Pell Grants. Additionally, GGC experienced growth in international student enrollment and dual enrollment – high school students taking college-level courses. For the spring semester, GGC welcomed 667 freshmen.

“These trends reflect GGC’s commitment to access, affordability and student success,” said Jordan. “We’re proud to serve a global and growing student population and to support students at every stage of their educational journey, from high school dual enrollment to degree completion.”

Among the college’s five schools, the School of Science and Technology leads with 3,162 students, followed by the School of Liberal Arts, the School of Business, the School of Health Sciences and the School of Education.

“Strong enrollment across all five schools shows that students are seeking programs that align with their academic interests and career goals,” said Jordan. “It also reflects GGC’s ability to respond to workforce needs while maintaining a broad, high-quality academic offering.”
