Our skills-infused approach provides our students with an advantage that employers are looking for and expands the personal and professional lives of our graduates.

The university offers undergraduate and graduate education and serves more than 7,000 students in five colleges: College of Arts and Sciences, the J. Whitney Bunting College of Business, the John H.

Location

Milledgeville is a charming, traditional small town located less than a two-hour drive from Atlanta, and an easy drive from all the other great cities in the Peach State - Augusta, Athens, Macon, Columbus, and Savannah. Close enough to everything, but far away enough to avoid the hustle and bustle.
