The Regents' Engineering Transfer Program (RETP) is a cooperative program between Georgia Tech and fourteen colleges in the University System of Georgia:

1. Albany State University
2. Armstrong Atlantic State University
3. Columbus State University
4. Dalton State College
5. Gainesville College
6. Georgia College & State University
7. Georgia Perimeter College
8. Georgia Southern University
9. Gordon College
10. Macon State College
11. Middle Georgia College
12. North Georgia College and State University
13. Savannah State University
14. Southern Polytechnic State University
15. State University of West Georgia
16. Valdosta State University

For the first two years, students in this program attend one of the participating institutions, where they take all of the mathematics and science and many of the engineering courses required in the first two years of the Georgia Tech engineering curricula. Upon successful completion of the RETP requirements at the RETP institution, students are admitted to Georgia Tech to work toward completion of a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.

By enrolling in RETP, students may attend a college close to home, thereby decreasing the cost of their education and easing the adjustment to college life. At the same time, RETP students enjoy many of the advantages of Tech students: they have equal access to engineering majors at Tech, they can participate in the co-op program, and they are invited to the Tech campus once a year for campus tours, information sessions, and meetings with advisors in their engineering majors.
