What Are the Accepted Criteria at Georgia Perimeter College?

The Georgia Perimeter College (or GPC) is a two-year associate degree-granting unit with multiple campus locations in suburban Atlanta. Founded in 1958 by the DeKalb County Board of Education, it was established in Clarkston in 1964 as DeKalb College. In 1997, it changed its name to Georgia Perimeter College because it was no longer solely serving DeKalb County.
