Chartered by the state of Georgia in 1785, the University of Georgia is the birthplace of public higher education in America and is the state's flagship university (https://www.uga.edu/). The proof is in our more than 240 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 3,100 faculty and more than 7,700 full-time staff. The University's enrollment exceeds 41,000 students including over 31,000 undergraduates and over 10,000 graduate and professional students. Academic programs reside in 19 schools and colleges, including our newly established School of Medicine.

UGA's College of Environment and Design ( CED) is home to the oldest landscape architecture program in the Southeast and one of the largest BLA programs in the United States. In addition to the BLA and MLA programs, the College provides Masters of Historic Preservation, Masters of Urban Planning and Design, and PhD degrees, as well as certificates in Environmental Ethics, Cultural Landscapes, and Historic Preservation. The College's global presence includes regular programming at UGA's campus in Cortona, Italy, and a strong working relationship with Nanjing Forestry University and Beijing Forestry University.

Embedded in an outstanding design school, the Master of Urban Planning and Design is an accredited program with a strong emphasis on physical and place-based city planning. The curriculum, centered around three planning and design studios, addresses the full range of regional, urban, community planning, design, and development issues. Since its inception in 2009, the program has attracted students from many national and international backgrounds, and its nearly 100% post-graduation job placement rate is a testament to its rigor and success.

Athens is a progressive city noted for its beautiful surroundings, great neighborhoods, rich history, and diverse intellectual, recreational, and cultural opportunities.
