Georgia Southern University (GS or Georgia Southern) is a public research university in the U.S. state of Georgia and its flagship campus is in Statesboro, and other locations include the Armstrong Campus in Savannah and the Liberty Campus in Hinesville.
Founded in 1906 as a land grant college, Georgia Southern is the fifth largest institution in the University System of Georgia and is the largest center of higher education within the southern half of Georgia and has a combined enrollment of approximately 26,000 students from all 50 states and approximately 85 nations.
Its name and mission were changed in 1924 to Georgia Normal School, as a training ground for teachers and five years later in 1929, after development of a four-year curriculum, it was granted full-fledged senior college status by the state, and the school was renamed as South Georgia Teachers College.
The university finally integrated its student body in 1965, eleven years after the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
Georgia Southern has continued its program and physical expansion and with the development of graduate programs in numerous fields and associated research, the institution was granted university status in 1990 as Georgia Southern University.
The university offers more than 140 bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, and doctorate programs in eight colleges which include the College of Business Administration,[52] the College of Education, the College of Health Professions, the College of Engineering and Computing, the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences, the College of Science and Mathematics, the College of Public Health,[53] and the College of Arts and Humanities.
In 2010, Georgia Southern received approval to offer three new engineering degrees: Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, and the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. Classes for the engineering school began in the fall of 2011.
