How we ranked this
One row per Georgia college: the lowest score that earns actual credit under the policy that applies to all students, and the largest credit award published at that score. Placement-only policies - permission to skip a course without earning credit hours - are excluded. Credit hours and course equivalents are reproduced exactly as the college published them; “-” means no value was published and we do not estimate one. A page is published for a state only when at least 8 colleges back it.
