Interior Design Articulation Agreement with Gwinnett Technical College
The table below details the courses that Brenau University will accept as transfer credit, and how the technical college courses associated with an AAS in Interior Design correspond to Brenau University’s Liberal Education and Interior Design coursework graduation requirements. This articulation applies to coursework leading to Brenau University’s Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design degree.
Other college courses taken at a degree-granting higher education institution accredited by a regional body, such as but not limited to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) may also be presented on a case-by-case basis for evaluation as transfer credit to Brenau University. This list is not all-inclusive and should be reviewed and updated periodically by the registrars of Athens Technical College, Lanier Technical College, Gwinnett Technical College and Brenau University to reflect changes in the curriculum at either institution. The agreement will remain in effect until the Vice Presidents of Academic Affairs at either institution gives notice that the agreement should be discontinued at the end of the semester in which such notice is communicated in writing. Should this occur, students currently in the program would still be able to complete their program.
Per the University catalog, in no case will a student be permitted to transfer more than 65 semester hours of credit (97 quarter hours) from two-year institutions to a Brenau program. This 65-hour limit represents the total of all credit taken at all two year colleges the student might have attended before applying for admission to Brenau. This 65-hour maximum does not affect Brenau’s minimum residency requirement.
