Find More PhDs
From its founding as a women’s educational center in 1889, our institution has consistently been a destination for students looking to make a difference in the world. We are Georgia’s designated public liberal arts university. More importantly, we teach student how to learn and we strive to instill a lifelong passion for learning that serves our them well regardless of the careers they choose.

History

Due to the lobbying efforts of Julia Flisch, a journalist in Augusta, support builds to establish a publicly funded college for women that would prepare them for the demands of the new industrial age. In 1889, the Georgia Normal & Industrial College is chartered as a two-year college emphasizing teacher training and business skills.

Education

Classes are small at Georgia College. Better yet, 100 percent of them are taught by men and women who love teaching. Some 80 percent have Ph.D.s from top universities. You can choose from more than 40 majors from the liberal arts to business, from health sciences to education to pre-professional programs.

We combine classroom knowledge with real-world experience. So, learning doesn't stop after class. In fact, it has just begun at that point. Service learning, study abroad, internships, undergraduate research and leadership organizations are some of the ways we bring together knowledge and life. 

Career

Students are first introduced to the Career Center through their First-Year Academic Seminar course where students complete the Focus 2 Career Assessment and access their Handshake account to access internship and career programming information. Throughout their four years at GC, students can access the Career Center through individualized appointments, career fairs, meet-ups and workshops, class and student organization presentations, campus interviews, and much more.

Student Experience

I wish there were more guidance for international students for adapting to dormitory systems and life on campus. Regardless, my professors there have been very supportive of my studies interest. There are many social events that international students can immerse themselves in to experience the real American life on-campus. There are also many supportive programs, such as food security, mental and physical health.
