University of North Georgia

The University of North Georgia's main campus is situated in Dahlonega, Georgia, approximately one hour north of Atlanta in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Established in 1873 as North Georgia Agricultural College, the institution maintains its designation as one of six senior military colleges in the United States and serves as The Military College of Georgia. The suburban campus features traditional brick buildings and modern facilities spread across its mountainous terrain, with most first-year students required to live in on-campus housing. UNG offers comprehensive undergraduate and graduate programs, with notable strengths in nursing, business, education, and military science, while maintaining competitive admission standards for its five campuses. The university's Corps of Cadets program continues to be a distinctive element of campus life, operating alongside the traditional civilian student population.
