To make transferring from a two-year college into a four-year university even more seamless, we signed co-admissions agreements with three community colleges in the region. Known as the “Bulldog Bound” program, the agreements allow currently-enrolled Gaston College, Blue Ridge Community College and Greenville Technical College students to participate in the direct-entry pathway to Gardner-Webb upon graduation. Students who wish to participate in the Program must satisfy the GWU admission and transfer degree requirements.
