What is the LINK – Chatt Tech to Kennesaw State University Bridge program?

Chattahoochee Technical College and Kennesaw State University have long worked together offering higher education opportunities to the citizens of northwest Georgia. Many students begin their path to a Bachelor’s degree by first earning credits at Chatt Tech and then successfully transferring to KSU. Like all of the University System of Georgia colleges and universities, KSU accepts many Chatt Tech courses. However, our close geographical proximity to one another allows for an even more thorough transfer pathway, a bridge from Chatt Tech to KSU. LINK is the official partnership between the two.
