Kennesaw State University in Georgia will begin offering a bachelor’s degree in financial technologies starting this fall term, the school announced on Tuesday.

University leaders attributed the decision to the growing popularity of the school’s fintech courses.

“The Bachelor of Science in Financial Technologies advances a strategic priority identified by the University System of Georgia that is directly aligned with workforce needs,” Ivan Pulinkala, KSU’s provost and executive vice president for academic affairs, said in a press release. “Fintech continues to emerge as a high‑demand field statewide, and with enrollment in KSU fintech courses growing exponentially in recent years, this program provides a complete undergraduate pathway for students.”

The technologies and topics included in the program will include digital payments, information security, blockchain and financial data platforms. According to the release, firms in Atlanta process more than 70% of the nation’s credit and debit transactions, earning the region the nickname “transaction alley.”

“Georgia’s fintech ecosystem is expanding at a remarkable pace, with hundreds of companies processing billions in transactions and creating thousands of new jobs,” Robin Cheramie, dean of Kennesaw State’s Michael J. Coles College of Business, said in the release. “This new bachelor’s degree builds on the success of our master’s program in Digital Financial Technologies and strengthens our ability to meet the growing statewide demand for talent with the technical, analytical, and ethical expertise needed to fuel Transaction Alley and beyond. We are proud to prepare students not just for today’s workforce, but for careers that will continue to evolve across digital payments, AI, cybersecurity, and emerging financial technologies.”
