The Medical College of Georgia has taken a leading role in educational innovations, for instance by maximizing the use of technology to enable distance education programs. When asked about their MCG education, graduates invariably mention our caring and respected faculty. Class sizes are small, and the environment is friendly and supportive. MCG's exceptionally well-trained graduate faculty is drawn from the Schools of Allied Health Sciences, Dentistry, Medicine and Nursing. This multidisciplinary cross-section of professionals provides an extraordinarily diverse and dynamic teaching environment.
Some programs are able to schedule classes to accommodate working students.
Research programs are individualized and tailored to students' interests. Clinical agreements enable MCG graduate students to participate in clinical practice sites throughout the Southeast. MCG's campus is designed to maximize convenience, comfort and security. Most sites on campus are within a five-minute walk of other sites. Augusta, Georgia, recently ranked the second most desirable residence in the state, is known for its cultural diversity, pleasant climate and low cost of living.
