Our Mission is Rooted in South Georgia, a largely rural region that encompasses coastline, wetlands, cities and rich histories, and areas of endemic privation but abundant potential. Our quest is to uplift our region's educational attainment, cultural opportunities, economic growth, environmental quality, scientific and technological progress, and social and personal well-being. Our hallmark is a comprehensive university experience that promotes student growth and success through creative strategies for using technology, enhancing learning, and connecting all we do to those around us. Most of Our Students are Georgians who begin as full-time freshmen, reflect Georgia's and the globe's cultural diversity, and have the motivation and ability to complete our increasingly demanding programs. Working professionals and transfer students are a growing presence.
Student life is characterized by a culture of learning inside and outside the classroom.
A safe campus serves as a laboratory for developing citizenship and leadership in a collegial environment. The Georgia Southern experience promotes the development of students who value honesty, civility, and the dignity of work. Our Comprehensive Curriculum Focuses on undergraduate programs of high quality, enhanced by masters and professionally-oriented doctoral programs pertinent to the region. At the University's core is excellent instruction, strengthened by research and service. Innovative classes increasingly incorporate new instructional techniques and technologies.
