Clayton State Lakers and Atlanta Metropolitan State College Trailblazers

The Laker Trailblazer Program is a partnership between Clayton State University (CSU) and Atlanta Metropolitan State College (AMSC). This program provides an opportunity for students who applied to CSU and did not meet the minimum SAT/ACT scores required for traditional admission.

The Laker Trailblazer Program gives students the opportunity to take courses as an AMSC student and live on Clayton State's campus while earning credits towards your degree. Upon completion of this one-year program, you have the option to enroll as a transfer student at Clayton State University, or to continue your degree at Atlanta Metropolitan State College.

Enrolling in this program is an agreement to be a part of a cohort of students enrolled in AMSC to attend classes instructed by AMSC faculty and live in CSU Housing.
