Within the framework of the Millennium Challenge Corporation’s second $140 million USD compact, the parties discussed the activities carried out in Georgia and upcoming programs. Significant attention was paid to the higher education program "San Diego State University and Georgia 2020", which is implemented in Georgia by San Diego State University (USA) and aims to implement bachelor's degree programs in technology and engineering specialties, as well as to strengthen natural sciences, engineering, and technology specialties and the quality of education.

This unique program is implemented in Georgia at partner universities — Tbilisi State University, Ilia State University, and the Georgian Technical University. Students enrolled in 2015 will receive an American education and American diplomas of international standards.  To implement the program, $30 million USD will be invested within the framework of the compact.

The purpose of the Georgian delegation's working visit to the USA is to discuss the further development of programs funded within the framework of the Millennium Challenge Corporation's second compact and to review the San Diego State University programs on-site.
