The Regent’s Engineering Transfer Program (RETP) was established in 1986 by the University System of Georgia (USG) to promote engineering education in Georgia. The USG revised the RETP and created the Regent’s Engineering Pathway Program (REPP) to serve more students in Georgia who have an interest in an engineering degree. UGA’s College of Engineering is one of the REPP partners and works with USG partner institutions. A potential transfer student from one of the partner institutions can reach out to the College of Engineering contact listed below for more information.
