The Graduate Program

Living in Athens

The University of Georgia is located in the cozy university town of Athens, known as the Classic City because of its name and its neoclassical architecture. Athens is located 65 miles northeast of Atlanta in northern Georgia. The city is within a two-hour drive of the north Georgia waterfalls, lakes and mountains, and within four to five hours of the Atlantic coast. Although Athens still has a comfortable, small-town atmosphere, the presence of the University has transformed the city into a lively town and one of the cultural centers of the New South. Most noticeable is the extraordinary amount of live music played in venues around town.

Campus Visits

Prospective graduate students are encouraged to visit the campus and the department. Each year we offer a Visitation Day, normally on the last Friday in February. Please contact Dr. Brian Boe if you need assistance in planning your visit. You can take a virtual tour of campus. Here's a campus video which is geared to prospective undergraduates, but contains some useful information for graduate students too, especially if it's impossible for you to visit campus in person.

Please contact the UGA Visitors' Center to make reservations for a campus tour at (706) 542-0842.
