The University of Georgia has provided graduate degree programs and non-credit courses for personal and professional development at various locations in Gwinnett County since the mid-1980s.

In 2002, with the opening of what was called the Gwinnett University Center, just off Highway 316 at Collins Hill Road, UGA began offering bachelor’s degree-completion programs at that location. Subsequently, the Board of Regents approved a new four-year college, Georgia Gwinnett College, and asked UGA to phase out its undergraduate offerings in Gwinnett. The last students in those programs are expected to earn their degrees by the end of spring semester 2008.

In the summer of 2008, UGA will relocate its graduate and continuing education programs to a new, easily accessible location at 2530 Sever Road, near the I-85 and Old Peachtree Road Interchange.

Also relocating to the new UGA Gwinnett Campus facility will be the Small Business Development Center office in Gwinnett and the Education Technology Training Center operated by UGA’s College of Education in Gwinnett.
