A visitor has only to step onto the campus of Georgia College to know that it is a distinctive and distinguished institution. The realization begins withthe physical: a beautiful, historic campus with a wide front lawn; well-maintained buildings; and Corinthian pillars that signify a meaningful and value past.                                                       

In these challenging economic times, it is more important than ever to provide academically talented students with affordable access to educational experiences of extraordinary quality. That is the mission of our nation’s public liberal arts universities:

    • To remain small enough to provide students the individualized attention they deserve;
    • To promote learning that connects education with real-world experiences; and
    • To provide a liberal arts grounded curriculum that prepares students for success in a globally complex and ever-changing world.
