CAU, Georgia Piedmont Tech Announce Dual Enrollment Deal

ATLANTA, GA -- Students from Clark Atlanta University and Georgia Piedmont Technical College will be able to attend classes at both institutions under a new education initiative, the schools announced Tuesday.

The "Access 4 Achievement" program will begin in late spring and includes dual admissions and joint enrollment for qualified students in addition to joint faculty and teaching opportunities.

Georgia Piedmont Tech President Jabari Simama said the college specifically wanted the deal with Clark Atlanta University so that his students could further their education at a four-year program.

"Students enrolled in the Access 4 Achievement will graduate prepared for today's job market, as well as ready to adapt to sudden shifts in market demands well into the future," he said in a statement.

The new program aligns with the vision of CAU President Ronald Johnson, who wants students to have layered credentials fitting for a global job market.

The program will be officially announced Wednesday at a news conference on the CAU campus, the university said.
