The University System of Georgia includes all state-operated institutions of higher education in Georgia - four research universities, two regional universities, 13 state universities, seven state colleges, and nine two-year colleges. These 35 public institutions are located throughout the state.
An 18-member constitutional Board of Regents governs the University System; which has been in operation since 1931. Appointments of Board members are made by the Governor, subject of confirmation by the State Senate. The term of Board members is seven years.
The Chairperson, the Vice Chairperson, and other officers of the Board are elected by the members of the Board. The Board elects a Chancellor who serves as its chief executive officer and the chief administrative officer of the University System.
The overall programs and services of the University System are offered through three major components: Instruction, Public Service/Continuing Education, and Research.
INSTRUCTION consists of programs of study leading toward degrees, ranging from the associate (two-year) level to the doctoral level, and certificates.
Requirements for admission of students to instructional programs at each institution are determined, pursuant to policies of the Board of Regents, by the institution. The Board establishes minimum academic standards and leaves to each institution the prerogative to establish higher standards. Application for admission should be addressed, in all cases, to the institutions.
PUBLIC SERVICE/CONTINUING EDUCATION consists primarily of non-degree activities and special types of college-degree-credit courses.
The non-degree activities are of several types, including short courses, seminars, conferences, lectures, and consultative and advisory services, in a large number of areas of interest.
Typical college-degree-credit public service/continuing education courses are those offered through extension center programs and teacher education consortia.
RESEARCH encompasses investigations conducted primarily for discovery and application of knowledge. These investigations cover matters related to the educational objectives of the institutions and to general societal needs.
Most of the research is conducted through the universities; however, some of it is conducted through several of the state universities.
The policies of the Board of Regents provide autonomy of high degree for each institution. The executive head of each institution is the President, whose election is recommended by the Chancellor and approved by the Board.
State appropriations for the University System are requested by, made to, and allocated by the Board of Regents. Matriculation and nonresidential tuition fees for all institutions are set by the Board. All resident students pay matriculation fees; out-of-state students pay nonresident tuition in addition to matriculation. Fees for student services and activities are established by each institution, subject to the Board’s approval.
