History.

Established as the Georgia Experiment Station in 1888 to conduct agricultural research, the UGA-Griffin campus has a long history of providing groundbreaking research to the state of Georgia and the nation. In 2005 the first two degree completion programs were established at UGA-Griffin, and the campus has been growing ever since.

Personable instruction.

Students at UGA-Griffin experience low student-to-faculty ratios, which allows personable instruction from world-renowned faculty. Many students work on campus and perform cutting-edge research in on-site labs, giving them an advantage of real-world experience and marketability well before graduation.

Opportunity for growth.

UGA-Griffin hosts several events throughout the year for prospective students to become acquainted with the campus and community, including mix and mingles with UGA-Griffin staff, business leaders and local officials; lunch and learn sessions on academic programs and career opportunities; counselor information sessions; and open houses with tours of campus.

Outstanding reputation.

The University of Georgia, founded in 1785, is the oldest and most comprehensive institution of higher education in Georgia.
