rollton, too. You’ve probably seen and heard more
about UWG lately than ever before. That’s because
we are committed to telling the UWG story. And
we have a lot to tell. We have students performing
biomedical research, outranking private university
debate teams, studying trees to evaluate historical
sites and presenting research at national confer-
ences. We have cheerleaders winning national
competitions…over and over again. UWG students
are studying abroad, developing local outreach
programs and building
robots. Our faculty and
staff are doing some
pretty amazing things
too. They’re visit-
ing far-flung reaches of the world to give lectures,
provide medical services, and educate the less
fortunate. They’re publishing books, advising small
businesses, and excavating archaeological sites. And
don’t get us started on our alumni. They’re news-
casters, authors, international business leaders and
teachers of the year. They’re chiefs of staff at the
White House, entrepreneurs, critical care nurses,
and everything in between. Then there’s UWG
itself. We’re one of the top producers of both nurses
and educators in the state. Our Richards College
of Business is AACSB accredited – and one of a
small percentage of schools with separate accredita-
tion for accounting. Our School of the Arts breaks
down traditional boundaries by celebrating and
incorporating creativity in all its forms. We’re the
official home of Georgia’s
Political Heritage Pro-
gram, the center for eCore
education in the state that
offers a set of core curricu-
lum classes taught on the web, and we have the only
fully functioning forensic anthropology lab in the
area. Everywhere you look, UWG is blazing trails to
new possibilities for scholarly achievement, creative
expression, and service to humanity. We invite
leaders, life-changers, seekers, creators, visionaries,
investigators, and game-changers to join the more
than 12,800 students enrolled at UWG. With 85
mind-blowing majors, more than 150 student orga-
nizations, and countless research and internship op-
portunities, you can customise your right-fit college
experience. Amazing things really do happen when
you Go West!
At UWG, we are committed to teaching and
learning that transforms the lives of our students.
