North Georgia College & State University offers a high quality college experience in a beautiful mountain setting, about an hour north of Atlanta. With more than 6,000 students, North Georgia is large enough to provide a wide array of opportunities and activities, but small enough to ensure personal attention from professors and to foster friendships among students.

Specializing in leadership training and developing civilian and military leaders since 1873, the state’s Board of Regents has designated North Georgia as a Georgia Leadership Institution. For more than 130 years, North Georgia has been helping students discover remarkable things about themselves and the world. Classes are small and are taught by professional faculty – not graduate teaching assistants. This personalized attention helps graduates gain a solid foundation on which to build their lives —a quality education with practical experiences and leadership opportunities to give them a career advantage.
