| About this School |
| The University of Georgia is located approximately 70 miles north-east of Atlanta in Athens, Georgia, and is the largest institution of higher learning and research in the State of Georgia. It was the first state-chartered university in the United States, making it the birthplace of the American system of public higher education. Today, it is the flagship university of the University System of Georgia, with an enrollment of approximately 32,000 students.

| History |
|
The University of Georgia was incorporated on January 27, 1785 by the Georgia General Assembly, which had given its trustees, the Senatus Academicus of the University of Georgia, 40,000 acres (160 km²) for the purposes of founding a “college or seminary of learning.â€
The first meeting of the university's board of trustees installed its first president, Abraham Baldwin, a native of Connecticut and graduate of Yale University. This meeting also identified the 633 acres (2.6 km²) on the banks of the Oconee River on which the university was to be built.
The first classes were held in 1801, in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences—named in honor of Benjamin Franklin—under the direction of President Josiah Meigs; the college graduated its first class in 1804.
White and male for the first century of its history, UGA began educating female students during Summer school in 1903 and finally as regular undergraduates in (1918). Before official admission of women to the University, several women were able to complete graduate degrees through credit earned in Summer school sessions. The first women to earn such a degree was Mary Lyndon. She received a Master of Arts degree in 1914. Mary Creswell earned the first undergraduate degree in June of 1919, a B.S. in Home Economics. UGA dormitories Creswell Hall and Mary Lyndon Hall are named after these alumnae.
In 1961, UGA became racially integrated with the admission of Charlayne Hunter (now Hunter-Gault) and Hamilton E. Holmes after notable tension with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. In 2001, on the fortieth anniversary of their having first registered for classes, the University renamed a prominent campus building in their honor as the Holmes-Hunter Academic Building. Although Hunter and Holmes were the first African-American students to matriculate at UGA, Mary Frances Early became the first African-American graduate by earning her master’s (MMEd) in music education in 1962.
In 1963, Chester Davenport became the first African-American to be admitted to the UGA School of Law and its first African-American graduate (LLB 1966). A decade later, Sharon Tucker was the first female African-American graduate, earning her JD in 1974.
The University has seen its academic reputation rise exponentially since Georgia's HOPE Scholarship program was started in 1993. The merit-based scholarship allows any resident of the state of Georgia to attend any public college in the state for free, provided they maintain a 3.0 GPA. The average SAT for incoming freshmen in 2005 was 1242, and national rankings for the school have risen consistently. In recent years, the University has been recognized as a "Public Ivy."
UGA is designated as both a land-grant and sea-grant university. The university's motto is Et docere et rerum exquirere causas ("To teach and to inquire into the nature of things"). The University's long standing landmark, The Arch, a cast-iron representation of the Seal of the State of Georgia, stands sentry between the campus and the city of Athens. The Arch's three pillars stand for Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation, the state motto of Georgia. Its name is singular, though it is often erroneously pluralized to "Arches".
UGA's Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication awards the prestigious George Foster Peabody Awards, which are presented annually for excellence in television and radio news, entertainment and children’s programming.
The University also presents the annual Delta Prize for Global Understanding, which recognizes individuals or groups whose initiatives promote peace and cooperation among cultures and nations.
