  • Athens Campus
    Athens Campus Athens Campus Introduction The University of Georgia is centered around the town of Athens, located approximately 60 miles northeast of the capital of Atlanta, Georgia. The University was incorporated by an act of the General Assembly on January 25, 1785, as the first state-chartered and supported college in the United States. The campus began to take physical form after a 633-acre parcel of land was donated for this purpose in 1801. The university’s first building—Franklin College, now Old College—was completed in 1806. Initially a liberal-arts focused college, University of Georgia remained modest in size and grew slowly during the Figure 48. Emblem of the antebellum years of the nineteenth century. In 1862, passage of the Morrill Act University of Georgia. by Congress would eventually lead to dramatic changes in the focus, curriculum, and educational opportunities afforded at the University of Georgia. The Morrill Act authorized the establishment of a system of land grant colleges, which supported, among other initiatives, agricultural education within the United States. The University of Georgia began to receive federal funds as a land grant college in 1872 and to offer instruction in agriculture and mechanical arts. The role of agricultural education and research has continued to grow ever since, and is now supported by experiment stations, 4-H centers, and marine institutes located throughout the state. The Athens campus forms the heart of the University of Georgia’s educational program. The university is composed of seventeen colleges and schools, some of which include auxiliary divisions that offer teaching, research, and service activities.

  • Graduation Rates at Auburn and SREB Peers
    Graduation Rates at Auburn and SREB Peers A comparison of recent graduation rates at Auburn University and its SREB peer institutions places Auburn at the median and second quartile for 2004-2006 reporting years (see Fig 1 for the distribution of completion rates; see Table 1 for the list of peer institutions). Differences in graduation rate by gender and ethnicity appear across the SREB peer group, including Auburn. Women are more likely than men to graduate (see Fig 2); again, a comparison with peer institutions places Auburn at the median and second quartile. Black students are less likely than students generally to graduate. Auburn’s graduation rates for black students are in the second quartile in 2004 and 2005 and in the lowest quartile in 2006 (see Fig 3). Across the SREB, Asian students are more likely to graduate than students generally. However, at Auburn graduation rates for Asian students are lower than for students generally and place in the lowest quartile for 2004 and 2005 and in the second quartile for 2006 (see Fig 4). This brief comparison demonstrates that Auburn does not outperform the middle point for its peers and calls for a more detailed analysis of six-year graduation rates at Auburn.

Only programs that culminate in a baccalaureate degree or higher are available for ACM participation in Tennessee. For participation in the ACM, interested students must: Live in Tennessee; Select a program eligible for Tennessee residents through the SREB program search; Be admitted into the eligible program by a participating institution; and Be certified as a resident by the Tennessee ACM coordinator.

  • University of Georgia Historical Background
    University of Georgia Historical Background A Brief History of the University of Georgia Et docere et rerum exquirere causas. To teach, to serve, and to inquire into the nature of things. – University of Georgia motto Figure 2. Campus Map, 1899. (Source: University of Georgia) The history of the University of Georgia (UGA) generally parallels that of the State of Georgia itself. Georgia became the fourth state of the United States after voting to ratify the Constitution on January 2, 1788. Statehood closely followed the Georgia General Assembly’s establishment of UGA in 1785, the first chartered state university in the nation. After approval of the charter, the legislature appointed governing boards and a president, Abraham Baldwin. It would take sixteen years to navigate the challenges associated with securing support, funding, and a location for the new school before students could be admitted in 1801.9 For much of its history, UGA has supported the evolving 9.
