On June 9th, the Atlanta University Center welcomed 22 exceptional incoming freshmen as part of the 2025 Atlanta University Center Dual Degree Engineering Program (DDEP) Summer Bridge cohort!
These students will begin their college journeys this fall at one of our distinguished Atlanta University Center Consortium member institutions — Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, or Spelman College — to earn dual degrees in liberal arts and engineering.
The DDEP Summer Bridge Program is a six-week intensive academic and cultural immersion experience designed to:
-Prepare students for the rigors of college coursework,
-Build a strong academic foundation in math, science, and communication,
-Cultivate a sense of community and support,
-Expose students to the vast opportunities within the engineering field.
Throughout the summer, these scholars will participate in workshops, campus tours, mentorship activities, and coursework that equips them for success in the fall and beyond—more details to come on their journey.
