Georgia State University

Georgia State is downtown, right in the middle of Atlanta, and we like it that way. We're a stop on the city's rapid-rail line and an exit on the freeway interchange. We're literally blocks from the region's cultural, business and governmental centers. From this location, we have become an integral part of Atlanta's redefinition.

Georgia State is an urban research university in the fields of business, education and urban affairs. As the seat of more than two dozen centers and institutes for research, we are a rapidly growing research center in the sciences. We educate students in fields as diverse as anthropology, entrepreneurship, child development, gerontology, hydrogeology, international business, psychology, sports and exercise and, of course, law.

Georgia State, the second-largest of Georgia's 86 accredited institutions of higher education, enrolls more than 23,000 students -- more than 10 percent of all such students in the state. More than 900 full-time faculty teach 50 majors in 217 fields of study. The university comprises five colleges and a school: Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Health Sciences, Law and Public Policy.

Each term, we teach some 2,000 course sections throughout the day and evening. Students may study full or part time. We confer more than 4,000 degrees annually.
