University of Georgia

The University of Georgia, founded in 1785, is the nation's oldest state-chartered university. Since its establishment, UGA has grown in leaps and bounds. Currently, it boasts a student body of over 32,000 people from around the globe. The university is comprised of fourteen schools and colleges and offers degrees in over 160 majors and fields of study. In offering a world-class education, UGA strives to uphold the three principles manifested in the pillars of the historic Arch: Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation.

While on campus, be sure to visit the historic North Campus, home to many beautiful of 19th century buildings, including Old College (1806), the oldest building in Athens, the Greek-Revival Chapel (1832), and the Federal-style Demosthenian Hall (1824). Walk through the famous arch (c.1850) from Broad Street, and enjoy rolling lawns and magnificent magnolias.
