The country of Georgia has a critical shortage of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) professionals, educated to current international standards, graduating from their institutions of higher education. To address this problem, the Georgian government through the Millennium Challenge Account- Georgia, with funding from the U.S. Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) contracted with SDSU to provide an American university education in Georgia focused on STEM disciplines that would improve human capital in the Georgian labor force. This type of preparation is intended to increase the number of high quality scientists and professionals for companies operating in Georgia, contribute to economic growth in Georgia, and enhance employment in companies requiring market-driven skills.
