The University of West Georgia (UWG) is situated on a 645-acre campus located in Carrollton, Ga, approximately 45 miles southwest of Atlanta. UWG, a charter member of the University System of Georgia, is a comprehensive, residential institution committed to academic excellence and offers over one hundred (100) high-quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs, certificates of less than one year, post-baccalaureate and post-masters certificate programs, and doctoral programs in Psychology (Ph.D.), Education (Ed.D.), and Nursing Education (Ed.D.) UWG offers the flexibility of online courses and degree programs. If the traditional classroom setting is preferred, then students may choose to attend classes on the main campus, at UWG Newnan, or one of the other off-campus locations. Similar to the offerings at the main campus, UWG Newnan offers all Core undergraduate courses, along with undergraduate and graduate work in business, nursing, and education. UWG Newnan is housed in the historic Newnan Hospital, offering students a unique learning environment while maintaining a local landmark. As with the main campus, UWG Newnan also offers support services for student success. The University community provides avenues for activities that complement the classroom learning such as faculty research, faculty-directed student research, scholarship, and creative endeavors that promote knowledge, enhance professional development, and provide for significant student involvement and field-based experience. Students also benefit from our small faculty-to-student ratio, receiving personalized attention during their studies. UWG, the fourth largest employer in Carroll County, generates nearly half a billion dollars in economic revenue each year. As a part of the culture of educational excellence, the University is committed to community engagement by encouraging mutually supportive activities and events for the campus and community populations. UWG sponsors student internships with local businesses and regularly hosts events, lectures, concerts, and workshops across campus. Most are free and open to the public. The University participates in regional outreach through a collaborative network encouraging volunteerism in the community and an extensive program of continuing education for personal and professional development. Opportunities for intellectual and personal development are provided through quality teaching, scholarly inquiry, creative endeavor, and service to humanity. UWG offers a broad range of public service activities and proactive partnerships that promote more effective utilization of human and natural resources; contribute to economic, social and technical development; and enhance the quality of life within the University's scope of influence. UWG invites you to Go West and join the more than 11,000 students currently enrolled!
