Initiatives
In fall 2004, Provost Arnett Mace created a Task Force on General Education and Student Learning to examine the undergraduate experience at UGA and make recommendations for changes and improvements. The task force worked throughout the academic year and solicited input from faculty and students.
The final report was submitted to the provost in August 2005.
In 2006, another task force was appointed to examine graduate education at UGA. Additionally, a task force is examining five-year enrollment targets for both undergraduate and graduate students.
With the support of the Provosts Office, several institutional
initiatives involving interdisciplinary instructional
and research programs have been initiated over the past
few years:
In recent years, UGA has
also offered degree programs in locations
beyond Athens. UGA currently has extended campuses in Gwinnett (Lawrenceville), Griffin and Tifton, while the Terry College of Business offers programs in Atlanta's Buckhead area.
