Charting a New Course: Veteran Michael Bauby’s Journey to CEEatGT

11 November 2024

When now fourth-year civil engineering major Michael Bauby approached high school graduation in 2016, his next steps were uncertain. Instead of college, Bauby found himself excited by a different idea: joining the military to serve and learn practical skills in a new environment.

“I just knew I wasn’t quite ready for college,” said Bauby. “I applied, got accepted, and even got scholarship money at a few places, but none of them really interested me. So, I decided to join the military. And I knew I wanted to be near the ocean, so that meant either the Navy or Coast Guard.”

After finishing his service, Bauby enrolled at the University of Alabama in 2021. When his girlfriend moved to Atlanta, he decided to transfer to Georgia Tech to go with her. To transfer, Bauby applied through the Veterans Transfer Pathway Program, which is a special entry path reserved for veterans wishing to earn a degree from Tech.
