| CAMPUS SUMMARY |
|
Georgia Southern University provides its nearly 17,000 students a classic residential college experience with rigorous academics in a caring community. Classified nationally as a doctoral-research university by the Carnegie Foundation, Georgia Southern focuses on students and what they value: a well-rounded education that opens the door to unlimited career possibilities; a faculty whose first priority is teaching; and a safe, attractive campus that encourages knowledge, discovery and personal growth. It offers more than 130 degree programs at the baccalaureate, master and doctoral levels. Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern continues to be one of the fastest growing universities in the Southeast. It is located in the hospitable “main street” community of Statesboro, which is less than an hour west of historic Savannah and its beaches. One of the most beautiful campuses in the state, the University’s 675 acres are an arboretum-like treasure featuring gently rolling lawns, scenic ponds and soaring pines that serve as a backdrop for its classic red-brick and contemporary architecture. |

Ninety percent of undergraduates are full-time students. The University is enhancing its academic profile through higher admission standards, an expanded Honors Program, and scholarships for academically talented students.
Georgia Southern University is committed to advancing the State of Georgia and the region through the benefits of higher education, offering baccalaureate through doctoral degrees, and a variety of outreach programs.

Georgia Southern celebrates its 2006 centennial with a strategic plan to advance the University to the top tier of national rankings in its class.
The 675-acre park-like campus continues an era of capital construction that has opened new facilities for colleges and academic programs, student recreation and development, university housing, athletics, and public service. The learning environment is enhanced by a museum of cultural and natural history, a botanical garden, a unique wildlife education center, a performing arts center, and a continuing education and conference center. The University's Division I athletic teams compete in the Southern Conference. The campus is located in Statesboro, a safe, hospitable Main Street community of 30,000, an hour from historic Savannah and beach resorts, and approximately 200 miles from Atlanta. |
