Since our founding in 1785, the University of Georgia has operated as Georgia's oldest, most comprehensive, and most diversified institution of higher education (
https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 235 years of academic and professional achievements and our continual commitment to higher education. UGA is currently ranked among the top 20 public universities in U.S. News & World Report. The University's main campus is located in Athens, approximately 65 miles northeast of Atlanta, with extended campuses in Atlanta, Griffin, Gwinnett, and Tifton.
UGA employs approximately 3,000 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 40,000 students including over 30,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 18 schools and colleges, as well as a medical partnership with Augusta University housed on the UGA Health Sciences Campus in Athens.
As one of the top public universities in the nation, UGA offers a culture of academic excellence and opportunity made all the richer by our renowned faculty, diverse community of scholar-citizens, and vibrant student life program.
The University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine, founded in 1946 and listed among the nation's top ten veterinary institutions by multiple ranking bodies, is dedicated to training future veterinarians, providing services to animal owners and veterinarians, and conducting investigations to improve the health of animals as well as people. The College's programs benefit pets, food-producing animals, horses, and wildlife by offering the highest quality hospital, diagnostic, and outreach services. Equipped with some of the most technologically advanced diagnostic and research facilities located on a university campus, the College is dedicated to safeguarding public health by studying emerging infectious diseases that threaten both animal and human health. The College makes significant contributions to Georgia's agriculture industry, which has a state economic impact of over $70 billion. More information about the College can be found at
https://vet.uga.edu/.
In March 2015, the College's Veterinary Teaching Hospital moved into a new, state-of-the-art, world-class animal healthcare facility where over 30,000 cases are seen annually. The hospital is part of the UGA Veterinary Medical Center, which also includes an education building for teaching veterinary students. The Center encompasses just over 300,000 square feet, and was built to enable the College of Veterinary Medicine to better meet its students' educational needs, its current and future patient care demands, and to encourage and facilitate clinical research. The Veterinary Teaching Hospital website is located at
