System officials will help hire faculty and staff, establish curriculum and obtain accreditation to open the King Faisal University Community College. The agreement comes after a group from King Faisal University visited Georgia's Athens Tech, Atlanta Tech and Georgia Northwestern Tech in January.
Those three campuses will play prominent roles in the new partnership, including awarding joint degrees with the Saudi Arabian institution.
Officials from Georgia and Saudi Arabia signed the agreement during a ceremony in Atlanta on May 29.
