VALDOSTA, GA (WTXL) - The Georgia Governor's Honors Program is leaving Valdosta State University. 

The GHP is a residential summer program for gifted and talent high school students who will be rising juniors and seniors. The program provides students with cultural and social enrichment, so they can become the next generation of global leaders. 

GHP has been stationed at VSU for years until Berry College was selected to host the program beginning in 2017.

While VSU is losing a key program, they are also announcing another new partnership.

VSU has announced that they will be teaming up with Florida Gateway College for the "two plus two" transfer admission guarantee. This will allow students to transfer their two years of coursework to VSU.

VSU and Gateway College leaders agreed that the new partnership will allow students an easy pathway to a bachelor's degree.
