As the birthplace of public higher education in America, the University of Georgia has inspired generations of entrepreneurs, researchers, and citizens to change the world since its founding in 1785.

Driven by our land- and sea-grant mission, we are dedicated to serving every corner of the state of Georgia. The motto, “to teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things,” reflects the University’s commitment to enriching the state and nation’s intellectual, cultural, and environmental legacy.
