Located in the quiet, beautiful and historic city of Milledgeville, one of the hallmarks of Georgia College is the intentionally small size of its classes, and the caring and personal interaction between faculty and students.
“The first day that I walked onto campus and into the International Education Center, I knew that I was part of something important. I always receive great advice from faculty and staff, and I am thankful for the help I get from my ‘family.’ When I leave next year, I know my Georgia College education and student job I’ve had on campus will help me get the job I’ve always wanted.”
– Karen Ramirez, Colombia, Business major

Only two hours from Atlanta and two and a half hours from beautiful Savannah – and the Atlantic Ocean – Georgia College is within easy driving distance of all the major cities in the state.
Because Milledgeville was the capital of Georgia until the US civil war, the town has many beautiful homes and buildings from the 1800’s. The Georgia College campus, therefore, is also very rich in historic beauty. Downtown Milledgeville, next to the campus, is the home to numerous shops and boutiques, plus a diverse selection of restaurants and bistros featuring American, Asian and European cuisine that are popular with students. Additionally, Lake Sinclair – a large lake lined with trees and that offers outstanding recreational opportunities – is located very close to the campus.
The International Education Center assists international students with application and immigration matters, adjusting to life at Georgia College and America, and provides personalized service and attention all year long. There are also extensive orientation sessions as well as programs and activities designed to connect students with our welcoming local community.
Georgia College offers many state-of-the-art facilities, including a new library with cyber café, suite-style residence halls, and an exercise complex and sports center.
There are over 100 clubs and organizations that students can join, in addition to intercollegiate sports teams such as baseball, basketball, cross-country, golf, soccer, softball and tennis.
One of the largest and most active student clubs on the entire Georgia College campus is the International Club – composed of both international and American students – that offers members fun activities, plus very affordable weekend trips to nearby cities, events, and cultural sites. The club also organizes the very popular annual International Fest (Fall) and International Dinner (Spring) celebrations. The International Club also supports new international students by matching them with a campus “buddy” before arriving at Georgia College.
Georgia College offers a number of choices for on-campus living, from the traditional residence hall to apartment-style living. All university residence halls and apartments are newly-built and come furnished with full amenities, including high-speed Internet and cable television access, laundry facilities and kitchens.
For those who prefer to live off-campus, apartment complexes and houses are available within walking or shuttle bus distance of Georgia College. All students will enjoy dining at the Maxwell Student Union (“The Max”) that offers a wide variety of choices for all tastes, diets, and preferences. It is also a great place to join with friends – and to meet new ones!.

We understand that applicants have been greatly impacted by recent cancellations of standardized exams such as the SAT, ACT, and TOEFL. Georgia College also accepts the online Duolingo English Test. We recognize that many final qualifications (IBO, French Baccalaureate, A-levels, etc.) have been modified or canceled, and we will accept adjusted methods of assessment as determined appropriate by the examining body/ministry of education on a case-by-case basis. The University System of Georgia has also temporarily changed its SAT/ACT and English Language Proficiency policy.
