University System of Georgia

The University System of Georgia (USG) includes 26 public colleges and universities, including four research universities, four comprehensive universities, nine state universities, and nine state colleges. By prioritizing degree attainment, affordability, and efficiency, USG institutions are doing all they can to help students and their families decide on a degree program, make financial plans, and earn a college degree that sets a solid foundation for their future. 

Focused on the system's mission of teaching, research, and service, our campuses offer a comprehensive range of academic programs that prioritize the skills you need for the high-impact jobs that move Georgia forward.

USG is a part of the community in each of Georgia's 159 counties and provides services across the state. We also support the Georgia Public Library Service, which encompasses approximately 389 facilities within the 61 library systems throughout Georgia, as well as the Georgia Archives, which identifies, collects, manages, preserves, and provides access to the state's historical public records.
