Why Georgia Southern University?
Cost | Petition for Residency | Frequently Asked Questions | ScholarshipsGeorgia Southern is the largest and most comprehensive university in the southern half of the state. We are accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, ensuring an educational experience recognized by employers for its high quality. Georgia Southern's increasingly selective admission standards have raised the average SAT score for the University's freshman class by 100 points in the last six years, exceeding the state and national averages. Another indicator of rising student quality is the growth of the University Honors Program, which is a magnet for high-achieving students. Our 675-acre campus is a mix of the old and traditional with the new and cutting edge. Set in a park-like environment of lawns, lakes and trees, Georgia Southern offers places of hustle and bustle you'd expect with an enrollment of more than 16,500 where there is plenty to do and many opportunities to make new friends. Yet, there are quiet places where you can find time to be apart and find yourself. Georgia Southern also offers an academic Out-of-State Fee Waiver for students who qualify (The deadline to apply is February 1, 2009 and is awarded to First-time Freshman applicants only). This scholarship is over $27,000 in value over a 4-year period. All of us here sincerely hope that Georgia Southern University will be of great interest to you! |
