How It Works
Students begin their academic journey at Shorter University, completing 45 credit hours with a 3.0 or higher GPA as part of their Bachelor of Science in Mathematics. From there, students apply to Kennesaw State University as transfer students. The carefully aligned curriculum ensures that credits transfer seamlessly between both institutions, keeping students on track throughout their academic career. Upon fulfilling all requirements for their Shorter mathematics degree, students will be awarded their Bachelor of Science in Mathematics through reverse transfer while simultaneously completing their engineering degree at KSU.

Students interested in the program should notify their Shorter University advisor of their desire to participate so they can ensure the appropriate coursework is being taken to prepare for the transfer to KSU.
