Georgia Academy of Mathematics, Engineering and Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Georgia Academy of Mathematics, Engineering and Science, also known as GAMES, is an early college entrance program created in 1997 and facilitated by the University System of Georgia. Typically, juniors or seniors in high school who meet or exceed the base requirements of GPA and SAT scores may apply and be admitted to the two-year program which is located at Middle Georgia College in Cochran, Georgia. Students in GAMES receive college-level education with specialization in the fields of mathematics, engineering and science, as the name of the program suggests. They live in residence halls located within Middle Georgia College's campus, interact with faculty, and are given similar status to traditional students within the college. Once students complete the program, they are awarded associate's degrees as well as high school diplomas from their former high schools, and enter a four-year college or university with a junior standing.
