from throughout the metro-Atlanta area. Classes are conducted on-site for the enrolled Georgia Tech
students and via a video-conferencing system for high school students. There are usually 200
students in Tech’s class and there will be a cap of 450 additional distance HS students for 2014-2015.
Students will receive 4 credit hours of college credit each semester and 1.0 HS credit per semester.
