About Us
Georgia College & State
University is the state's designated public liberal arts
university. As a member of the prestigious Council of Public
Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), Georgia College is committed to
fostering a liberal arts environment that values interdisciplinary
inquiry, diversity and inclusion, and academic excellence. The
College enrolls approximately 7,000 students –5,800 undergraduate
and 1,200 graduate students-- and is prominently cited for
excellence in teaching, undergraduate research, nursing education,
and high impact practices outside the classroom in a number of
leading publications.
The university's beautiful and
historic campus is located downtown in Milledgeville, Georgia, a
charming, diverse college town of approximately 19,000 residents in
Central Georgia, approximately 90 miles southeast of Atlanta.
Milledgeville is also the home of noted American author and alumna,
Flannery O’Conner, and the college community enjoys many exciting
literary arts programs at O’Connor’s former home, the Andalusia
Institute, now owned by the College. Milledgeville is also
located on the banks of beautiful Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee,
allowing faculty, staff, and students to take full advantage of the
environmental and recreational benefits of being part of a lake
community. For cultural, educational, and leisure opportunities
beyond Milledgeville, Macon and Atlanta are located within easy
driving distances.
Georgia College takes great pride
in combining the educational experience of private liberal arts
colleges with the affordability of a public university. The
university's main campus is a residential learning community
focused on undergraduate education and a select number of graduate
programs. Faculty and staff are dedicated to engaging students
through high-impact pedagogies that foster intellectual curiosity,
reasoned inquiry, and critical thinking. We strive for excellence
in the classroom and beyond. We nurture collaborative leadership
and global citizenship, and we value diversity and inclusion in all
of its forms.
Georgia College seeks faculty and
administrators who understand and embrace our public liberal arts
mission, who are committed to respecting and fostering diversity
and inclusion inside and outside of the classroom, and who are
dedicated to the advancement of knowledge through teaching,
scholarship, and service. All Georgia College faculty share the
responsibility of teaching our core curriculum and providing
foundation courses for majors and non-majors alike. To carry out
our public liberal arts mission, we seek faculty with the desire
and ability to provide a first-class learning experience for our
students, one that will prepare them to be competent, thoughtful,
and well-rounded leaders who make transformative contributions to
their communities and to the world.
